Perpetual free agency

This free agency NIL whatever you wanna call it, has to have some boundaries. Freshmen expect to play early and transfer if not. Portal guys expect to start. No continuity, no roster management, just a bunch of kids looking for a check. Gone are the days of waiting your turn and developing your skills.

Yep
I been saying that for sometime. The new age of college football is upon us. Can’t be sustainable though. Can it?

I think it will all get sorted out, but it’s going to continue to be a shite show in the meantime.

A portion of the rant thinks it's all good for college football. Player empowerment, no rules, no regulations, wild west.

Why do you hate capitalism? Are you a communist?
It’s not up to any school or you to decide for someone else how or where they “develop their skills”. You telling me you wouldn’t take a far better paying job just because your current job of “training you”? If you say you wouldn’t think about taking the better paying job you are a damn liar.

College players have it better than professionals from the standpoint of lacking a contract to keep them at a place they no longer want to work. Sure, the NIL dollars aren’t as good as a NFL player, but the flexibility to pick up and leave (as long as someone wants you) is unmatched.

Y? You're not limited on what u can make...thats their job, let them make what they can, never know if it'll translate to the NFL...and if it doesn't and they save that money, or invest it, they're setting themselves up for success

All of this is true but the "has to have some boundaries" is already the case. Its just not the boundaries that, as fans of traditional college football, we want.
We want institutional control of a contract between between two private parties. With the supreme court ruling, it is extremely unlikely that will ever happen.

I heard about one guy agreeing to a contract extension and then going to Notre Dame like a week later...
Oh wait that was Mike Denbrock. REGULATE THESE COACHES! He also sat out of the bowl game. Selfish.

While I 100% agree with this take, Nuss sticking it out in this environment tells me all I need to know about his mental fortitude.
Give me that kid that everyday busts his arse behind the scenes, doesn't complain about lack of PT. He was also the first person to always celebrate with JD5 after a TD.
I'm very excited for this young man and the bowl game only helped that matter.

Put an end to the portal and make them sit a year and you fix a lot of this.

Makes you appreciate the ones who stay and pay their dues.

It’s the NFL but with in season tampering

Just allow 1 transfer, no questions asked. After that, transfers should be only if the losing team consents.
Transfer and play immediately. 5 to play 4, period. Unless you graduate, then you can apply for a 5th year on the field.
NIL should remain just another factor.

It somewhat did until the "sit out a year" provision on the second transfer was eliminated.

NIL and the portal aren’t broken. What is broken is the fact that there is no longer a penalty for transferring. You used to either burn a redshirt or lose a year of eligibility if you transferred as an undergraduate player.
Return to the old transfer rules and everything would fix itself. You could even give a free transfer without losing eligibility, but force the athlete to sit a year. Like they would a redshirt year.
