ARLINGTON — The transfer portal.
The ability to monetize through Name, Image and Likeness.
The world event that led to an extra year of eligibility for all.
The draw of life-changing money in the NFL.
The trend of sitting out postseasons to prepare for the draft.
The storylines of recruiting — committing, de-committing, and, of course, committing again … and possibly again.
The “look at me” mentality of star players.
The multi-million dollar facility arms race, the hundreds of millions in television contracts and the ever-evolving landscape of conference realignment and “re-realignment.”
There is a lot in college football that one can point to that isn’t “right,” and criticism of the loss of deep-rooted love for the game abounds.
Enter TCU quarterback Max Duggan. His grit, toughness and leadership displayed between the lines is matched off the field.
