Should college football reinstate the “one-season sit” rule for transfers?

Seems like this shite is getting out of hand. Maybe the realization of sitting a year out will make these kids more loyal.

No, that is not fair. Remember they only get one transfer, that is it, one.

Everyone is overreacting because this is the first cycle we are seeing it at this level. They only get a one time transfer without having to sit out. Transferring is still a huge decision for the player and the overwhelming majority of players will never transfer at all. Obviously QBs will be the biggest group and I can't fault any of them at all.

You bet they should. The game is being ruined and rosters are getting gutted because of transfer portal. The BS has to stop before people start losing interest in college football.

I’d have the old rules with one exception and that is head coach change. If a head coach change you can transfer without sitting out.

Accepting NIL payments should require a kid to stay for 3 years.

How about something conditional.


If you transfer before your third season at a program you have to sit a year. After that you dont have to sit, but can only do it once.

Outside of that I would include exceptions, and these would apply even if someone had previously transfered.

No sitting between divisions FCS, JUCO, etc.

No sitting for graduate transfers.

No sitting if leaving a program during the year that they lose/fire/retire the Head coach.

No sitting if transfering in the year a program gets a bowl ban or other major sanctions.

Also with NIL, I think eligibility needs to be revisited.

First NIL or something like it had to happen.

Anyway, with the MLB draft, if a player does not get picked high enough or does not get an offer they like they can return to college.

I am not sure what the barriers would be in Football(and basketball), but having the same ability to return and imorove their stock would be good IMO.

Maybe if you transfer before your sophomore year but no sitting for Juniors/seniors.

Absolutely and also make these NIL deals like a contract, where if you get a deal, you have to stay at that school until you are draft eligible.

Yes

If I’m not mistaken it was started because of the Fauci flue.

Should be stopped now.

A lot of this year (not all of it) is because of coaching changes. I’ve seen it happen a lot in all sports. A kid is recruited because he’s big and can run between the tackles. New coach has no use for that. Another kid is recruited because he’s a slugger and the new coach wants to play small ball. Look, I think the current state of the portal is a really bad look and there are many taking advantage of that but I can see it’s benefits as well.

100% should. There needs to be something to balance out these transfers.
