University of Pittsburgh head football coach Pat Narduzzi is not a fan of the transfer portal. Narduzzi ripped the state of the NCAA transfer portal while revealing North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye was offered $5 million by two schools to transfer.
“It’s a sad, sad deal,” Narduzzi said Tuesday on 93.7 The Fan.
Narduzzi did not name either of the schools that allegedly attempted to tamper with Maye, the reigning ACC Player of the Year.
Tar Heels coach Mack Brown previously accused teams of tampering with his star quarterback.
“I can’t say that [who they are], and don’t ask Drake,” Brown told reporters. “You know who they are. Just look at all the ones who are getting all the top recruits.”

Maye, a redshirt freshman this past season at North Carolina, had a phenomenal first year with the Tar Heels as he tallied the third-most passing yards (4,115) in the FBS this season and tossed the fifth-most touchdowns (35) of all qualifying quarterbacks.
The Tar Heels are currently sitting with a 9-4 record. A win in the San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl over Oregon would grant North Carolina their first 10-win season since 2015.
