Or, perhaps we’re literally living in the ncaa twilight zone, when:

1. Players can literally transfer to any school, including schools within their own conference, with 0 penalty and immediate eligibility
2. Teams can easily, and out in the open pay recruits (via this bogus unregulated UIL deal)
2A.You have Ta&m already signing 15 of the top 100 players (and they’re not done yet!), to go play for Jimbo?!
3. You have teams like Indiana and Missouri out recruiting LSU?!

How long can this current state of affairs last before the former great sport of college football implodes? Do the current ncaa powers to be actually think this is sustainable?

I'll answer each bullet point:

1) They can only freely transfer once. This is year 1 so you are seeing more than we will probably see in a typical year. I feel like once it settles down the transfers will mostly be kids that signed with schools for NIL money and arent playing as 2nd or 3rd year players and G5 guys like Miles Frazier that had great years and want to boost their stock by moving up in competition.

2) Every team is allowed to use NIL deals so I don't see how this is that much of an issue. Also the NCAA will start to put rules in place as issues become clear in the next few years.

2A) Oil money goes a long way. Like I said in part 1, a ot of these kids will transfer out once they fail to secure PT.

3) LSU is in the middle of a complete coaching overhaul and did not have their ducks in a row with the NIL stuff. LSU will be back in the mix starting next year.

The sport will not implode, the transfer portal is the great equalizer. half the kids that sign with the NIL super schools will transfer when they don't get PT. The NCAA will obviously put some rules in place eventually once they see how the dust settles.
