So on your mind enrolling at a top school and joining a tier 1 fb program is getting screwed?

They all can and probably will all leave in spring transfer portal if the Gumps try this shite.

They can transfer, but if they don’t get released from their NLI’s they’ll still have to sit out a year.

You are conflating NLI, which becomes moot once a player enrolls and is placed on scholarship, and being enrolled and having access to the transfer portal with the school having no say in the player's decision.

The NLI contains an attendance requirement - the player has to attend the school for a full academic year. However, apparently the player can request a release after a full semester and it must be granted by the school.

I’m not 100% sure how this works in practice. I think this means that a player can enter the portal during the spring window but can’t get released from their NLI (and thus can’t legally be contacted by other schools) until after the end of the semester.

RW was never going to Alabama, regardless if Saban was there or not!
