Wonder how long it will take for some of these new changes in College Football to be more regulated?

the transfer portal is going to have to change. It will destroy college football. There are going to be a lot of players without teams when it is all said and done too.

LSU_Legz•28 months

In some respects, that would be great. Teach a lesson in choices and consequences, you can go into the portal if you think that's a good option, but you also run the risk of not having a team at all.

Vidic•28 months

I don’t particularly care for the portal, but I’m not the one with a potential NFL career and millions of dollars on the line. I find it hard to believe that anyone of these kids shoes wouldn’t do the same if it meant potentially fulfilling those goals.

Vidic•28 months

Anyone in these kids shoes*

blueboy•28 months

He’s right. This needs to be changed.

jbird7•28 months

Amen. Hopefully the NCAA goes back to the old transfer rule. Why they decided to change it in the first place is beyond me. Anyone with a brain could see that this would happen.

pjab•28 months

I don’t remember TM waiting for shite. Dude balled out from the jump.

PP7 for heisman•28 months

Yeah to be fair Tyrann had like 2 sacks and a forced fumble in his first college game lol. Didn't have much of a wait.

Ghostface_Killa•28 months

Pretty sure played a lot his first game.

themunch•28 months

He excelled on special teams. Started db as a fifth back. Nickel or dime coverage.

CTtiger30•28 months

Yeah gotta agree Tyrann was a dude day one, I didnt even know mo claborne until his last year

Ponchy Tiger•28 months

I have been saying it. In the long run it will hurt the development of players.

ECOTIGER•28 months

Says the former NFL player that has to work still...

ECOTIGER•28 months

Talking about Antonio Cromartie.

Chalkywhite84•28 months

Maybe he is telling them from experience or he wants to coach.

Cosmo•28 months

Antonio has like 30 kids, no shite he has to work

brett408•28 months

cant the SEC push a one year sit out rule for transfers within conference? That would certainly help.

spslayto•28 months

They can adopt their own rule. And I think the conference should consider that.

derrick0356•28 months

I think that will hurt the SEC in the long run. Kids would go to another conference where they don't have to sit. The NCAA need to step in and create a cap on how much an athlete can earn annually and how much can a marketing firm can take.

TrueLefty•27 months

derrick0356, you.re wrong about that. I can see the limit NIL, but transfers are the biggest issue of all. There is no trust, a team may depend on that player to make a difference to winning and losing some games. Then trying to find a replacement that may be way too late to find and get the transfer player ready.

TigerFanatic99•28 months

TA&M coach worried about NIL is rich.

CFFO•28 months

He may already be seeing the issues NIL can create. The more you pay out, the more issues may be created. A&M will be interesting to watch over the next couple years.

Nix to Twillie•28 months

He waited his turn? He balled out as a freshman.

dgnx6•27 months

Technically in a base 4-3 he was the back up in 2010.

Vacherie Saint•28 months

NIL really is a sh*t show. How are you going to preach financial equity across all mens' and womens' college sports regardless of marketability, then enact something that ensures equity never happens?

TrueLefty•27 months

NIL isn't the problem, it's the transfer portal that is creating waves of transfers nonstop! This wasn't a problem before the rule changed to start right away after being in the transfer portal.

LSUbest•28 months

I hate it too. No team continuity.

Geaux Guy•28 months

TM7 may not have met Mo LINK

Antioch•27 months

I remember him making plays as a freshmen when he got in on special teams, defense etc..I believe he wore #14. I knew he was gonna be a stud.

TheWalrus•27 months

Yup, he balled out his first game vs UNC. I remember him being in one of my blow off sociology classes that semester and nobody knew who he was.

Mr Harry Larrry•27 months

He was in my milk marketing class at LSU. Dude had 5 white girls obsessively circling him during every single class.

Tigerik•27 months

Knife cuts both ways. This year it's cutting to both hurt and help LSU. Tigers needed it this year, but we lost guys like Ricks and that's unfortunate.

LSUCOLLEGECHAMPS•27 months

I'm sick of the transfer portal, but Tyrann should stfu. Maybe he should have listened and he would have stayed at LSU.
