College Football Coach Issues Reality Check on Transfers and NIL
College Football Coach Issues Reality Check on Transfers and NIL originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Yesterday evening, at his weekly press conference, Northern Illinois head coach Thomas Hammock was asked if he had thoughts on making the transfer portal 'more fair.' His response has been making waves across social media. By January earlier this year, the Huskies had already seen 19 players enter the portal, underscoring just how challenging roster management has become for smaller programs. 'You know, we lost all these guys. See who plays. So it's all good when people put it on Twitter… How many of those guys going to play or travel or get snaps?' Hammock said. He recalled his own experience, going through college without a dime, and the lessons he learned that shaped his life far beyond football. Hammock is especially concerned with what he sees as a shift in focus among players and families. 'People are losing the fact that this is short-term. Get your degree. Learn valuable lessons that will help you in the long-term of your life… If you're going to college to go get a couple of dollars, might as well go get a job,' he said. Hammock's perspective is grounded in a life shaped by football and resilience. A two-time All-American running back for NIU, he ran for over 1,000 yards in both his sophomore and junior seasons. His playing career was cut short due to a heart condition with a season of eligibility remaining. He immediately turned to coaching, starting as a graduate assistant at Wisconsin before moving on to coach running backs at NIU and Minnesota, returning to the Badgers again, and even serving on John Harbaugh's staff in the NFL. Since taking over at his alma mater in 2021, Hammock has consistently defied expectations. Northern Illinois was picked to finish last in the MAC in his first season, yet the Huskies won the league with a 9-5 mark. Over the next three seasons, Hammock has led NIU to two bowl games and a pair of bowl wins, cementing a reputation for overachieving against the odds. The Huskies have also felt the impact of the transfer portal firsthand. After an 8-5 season that included a stunning victory at Notre Dame, NIU lost top-tier talent, including its starting quarterback, two lead running backs, and multiple four-star receivers. Even former defensive coordinator Nick Benedetto moved on. Hammock had to rebuild aggressively, bringing in 13 new players and hiring Quinn Sanders, former Charleston coach, to orchestrate an offense that can thrive even with limited returning production. Despite the challenges, Hammock remains confident in his program. NIU has adapted by targeting transfers from FCS and Division II programs while also attracting players from Power 4 schools. With consecutive bowl wins under his belt and a move to the Mountain West on the horizon, Hammock believes Northern Illinois can maintain consistency and exceed expectations in an era dominated by roster turnover. 'This is about teaching young men to grow, to be successful in life, and to be ready for what comes next. NIL and the portal aren't the most important things. College should be,' Hammock said. In a world where programs can hit a 'create-a-team' button each offseason, Hammock's message is clear: resilience, preparation, and life lessons matter most. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Dan Hurley's legendary father wanted him to take Lakers' coaching job
While the Los Angeles Lakers were looking to make JJ Redick their next head coach late in the spring of 2024, they made a surprising, high-profile detour when they courted Dan Hurley, the coach at the University of Connecticut, for that same job. At the time, the Huskies had just won the men's NCAA championship for the second year in a row, and Hurley wanted to go for a three-peat. But while he was tempted to come out to Los Angeles to coach the world's most famous basketball team, the Tri-State area native elected to stay in Storrs. His father, Bob Hurley, was a legendary high school basketball coach at St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, N.J. He admitted in a recent interview on Jon Rothstein's 'Inside College Basketball Now' that the elder Hurley wanted him to take the job with the Purple and Gold. The younger Hurley explained one reason why he didn't take his father's advice to come to the Lakers. 'The thing with my dad is, at different points in my career, he's advised us to make the move and take the job, and he never did. I always took my dad's advice on career advancement with a heavy grain of salt, because he never left St. Anthony,' Dan Hurley told Rothstein. 'The one thing I don't listen to Bob Hurley Sr. about is how to advance my career, because he never left his high school when he could have coached at any level.' As it turned out, Redick did a fine job in his first season as the Lakers' coach. Although they lost in the first round of the NBA playoffs in five games to the Minnesota Timberwolves, he guided them to the third-best record in the Western Conference. In doing so, he had to overcome a couple of extended slumps, off-the-court obstacles and February's humongous trade for Luka Doncic. Meanwhile, the Huskies failed to win their third straight title and lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament to the University of Florida. Lakers fans felt a measure of karma and even schadenfreude when the loss occurred.

Former Naperville North star Luke Williams tries to be ‘best version of myself' after transfer to Austin Peay
Luke Williams could see the proverbial writing on the wall, and he didn't like what it was telling him. After redshirting his freshman season at Purdue, the former Naperville North star did what thousands of college athletes are doing. He entered the transfer portal. 'It definitely was tough just knowing that Purdue was getting a new coaching staff and obviously they would be evaluating different things,' Williams said. 'I just felt like I needed to find somewhere where I would grow.' Williams, a safety, quickly found his place, committing to Austin Peay State on May 1. He also had contact with SMU, Sam Houston and Washington State, which was interested in him playing receiver. 'It definitely was tough just getting a new change of scenery down here in the South,' Williams said, referring to the campus in Clarksville, Tennessee. 'The weather is a lot different down here, but you get used to it.' Indeed, Williams is fitting in nicely in his new surroundings. He arrived on campus June 1, took an English class over the summer and is training daily with his teammates. 'I like the people down here,' he said. 'Everybody has welcomed me with open arms. Everybody wanted to talk, get to know each other, so I feel like it's coming along great. 'Just being with each other every day all day, it builds great team chemistry.' Chemistry is vital to any team but is especially hard to build when there is so much player movement. Williams, who was the Naperville Sun player of the year in both football and basketball as a senior at Naperville North, is one of many athletes who have transferred. 'These kids move around pretty quick,' Naperville North football coach Sean Drendel said. 'They're all trying to find opportunities to get on the field, and if you're a starter, the team is constantly trying to find someone who's better than you. 'If you're not mentally and physically strong, it's a tough industry, and I'm super proud of how Luke Williams has handled it.' Ultimately, the opportunity to play outweighed the prestige of the institution for Williams. 'He goes, 'I want to go somewhere I can play,' and it wasn't about going back to another Big Ten school,' Drendel said. 'It was about 'I want to play and prove people wrong.'' Doing so required Williams to leave his older brother Zeke, who is a cornerback at Purdue. Zeke Williams also transferred after his freshman year, but he went in the opposite direction. After redshirting at Northern Illinois, he moved from the Mid-American Conference to the Big Ten and has appeared in four games over the past two seasons for the Boilermakers. Luke Williams moved from the Big Ten to the United Athletic Conference, but not before getting some advice from his brother. 'He just said, 'Keep your head up,'' Luke Williams said. 'Obviously, during camp there are days where you're tired, but just keep your head up and keep growing no matter what. 'I'm getting in my Bible, being coachable and trying to be the best version of myself that I can be.' The Governors open the season at Middle Tennessee State on Aug. 30. Williams doesn't know whether he'll see any action. 'They haven't really discussed any of that yet,' he said. 'We're just going through the trials and tribulations of it right now, so just getting out there and just playing football. That's what we're doing right now.' But Drendel is confident Williams will see plenty of playing time. 'He'll get his chance there, and I believe ultimately he may get his chance somewhere else after there,' Drendel said. 'That's happening a lot.' It's possible that Williams will transfer somewhere else in the future. But he's staying in the present. 'I'm just going to take it a year at a time, just being where my feet are right now, having this opportunity to play college football,' he said. 'Austin Peay is a great opportunity, so I'm just taking it a day at a time.' And Williams is enjoying each one. 'You can't get closer as a team than at football,' he said. 'You see each other every day, all day. We go bowling. It doesn't get much better.'
