Summary
Andy and THE Portal Authority, Max Olson, converse about Pitt WR Jordan Addison, and the interest he's drawing as a potential transfer. The pair also consider college football's current tampering rules, and how mild the infraction's penalties are. In this era of NIL, do consequences for tampering need to be greater? Also, USC should look into reinforcing its hogs upfront through the portal; Max's portal deadline explanation, and the NFL Draft by the numbers.
