The transfer portal is the problem.. not NIL

The “sky is falling narrative” because amateur athletes can get paid for sponsorships through NIL deals is so overblown.
The real problem comes from unrestrained free agency transfers..
I really think if you address signing day (moving it back to Feb so coaches aren’t leaving before bowl season causing players to drop into the transfer portal prematurely)
2. NO INTER-CONFERENCE TRANSFERS and reinstitute more strict guidelines for transfers including one year sit-out
3. As far as NIL goes, you have to punish schools performing blatant pay-for-play. There needs to be punishment for EMU due to Charlie Batch openly offering Caleb Williams 1 million if he comes to EMU.. There’s no issues though with kids getting sponsorships. Why? Because this is fricking America

It’s not overblown. NIL = $$$ and when $$$ is involved most else is secondary.

Money has never been involved in college football. It’s always been so pure

Cash is king. Not having to sit out a year makes it easier to transfer but $$$ is always the biggest factor

It is both.

I agree. The transfer portal is the biggest problem. Max Johnson moving to A&M and being eligible to play next year is total BS.
The other problem is the bowl games need to go away. Make a 16 team playoff and be done with everything else. These kids are already playing 12 games along with being students.
"They" should have given athletes a stipend years ago to allow them to have a little spending money. NIL is not going to put any money in the pockets of most.

Sarcasm sure but, not this kind of money it hasn’t. We’re in the millions now. The Tex QB, gump QB and more im sure but they’re getting millions. Pretty sure that kind of cash hasn’t been involved before.

I agree but -
Head coaches and coordinators can leave once the season is over.... the kids should be able to as well.
I would really love a couple of rules implemented -
Head Coaches and coordinators cannot leave current jobs until 3 days AFTER the National Championship game.
Players scholarships are good from 3 days AFTER the NC and through the next NC. One you begin the year on a roster, you must full-fill your 1 year. If a player opts to transfer.... they cannot receive benefits/scholarship or enroll at a new school until 3 days AFTER the NC.
Kind of like in the NFL... there should be a league year.

The combination of the two is what’s dangerous.

This is what the board willfully ignores. Under the payment NIL deals have been going on for decades

So, only transfers to schools within your own conference? Not sure I understand.
Posted on 1/6/22 at 10:23 am to OKtiger
It’s both NIL and the one free transfer starting at about the same time that is the real issue. Everyone is learning how to handle all of it on the fly. I don’t think it would be nearly as wild if we had the one free transfer rule for 5-10 years then NIL started or vice versa.
College football will never be the same but I think it will eventually even out and not be as insane as it is right now.

The solution is:
1) Make the bar for unrestricted transferring the same as redshirting. If you played more than 4 games, you have to sit out a year.
2) Let graduate transfers still occur once they have graduated.
This would solve a ton of problems.

Same conference transfers are the only part of the transfer portal that I do not like. I would much rather granting immediate eligibility to players who transfer outside the conference but when transferring to the same conference they should sit out one year. Just my opinion.

Agreed
In the NFL you have free agency. But you also have contracts providing when a player can become a FA.
1. I don't like an intra-conference penalty.
Perhaps there should be a bit of a hybrid system in CFB. If you transfer after your 1st or 2nd year you have to sit out a season. But after your 3rd season (even if that is your RS Soph season) you are free to transfer without penalty. That would be akin to signing a 2 year "contract". However, if you are cut/released by your school in your 1st or 2nd year there, you can go to a new school and are immediately eligible.
2. Make a "FA period". No transfers during the season beginning on August 1. Once the season ends at the end of November, anyone who wants to transfer can enter their name in the portal.
3. Enforce in-season "tampering" significantly. There can be no contact between a member of one program with a player on another program except during the FA period. Even indirect contact with the player is barred. (i.e. through a "handler")
4. Reduce the number of available scholarships to 70 or 75.

He probably meant intra-conference banned and not inter-conference.
