Pitt football has lost a key defensive piece as Dayon Hayes announced he is entering the transfer portal. He said it’s because Pitt doesn’t have a chance to win next year and he is entering his final year of eligibility. Is Charlie Partridge a bigger loss than any player? Is the run for great Pitt defensive line prospects over? Is this an example of how things are going in college football? Is it better or worse for Pitt football now than it was before NIL?
