re: NIL and Transfer Portal can’t coexist

The portal is fine. The immediate eligibility isn’t. There should be exceptions for graduate transfers or players with only 1 year remaining. No reason a starter should be able to transfer to another conference team and start the next year.

I'd say anyone going to be a junior or senior that didn't start at least half of their previous season should be allowed to transfer. Allows guys stuck lower on depth charts the opportunity to transfer out for playing time before their eligibility expires whether that's to showcase for the NFL or otherwise.


Anyone transferring before needs to sit out a year.


It's absolutely stupid that All-American starters like Ricks would transfer going into their basically last year of football before the draft. It's a black eye on the current arrangement. The guy would have had less than a year at LSU before getting drafted. He'll have played 2 years at LSU and 1 year at Bama yet he'll rep Bama anytime when asked. What a joke.
