re: The transfer portal is the problem.. not NIL

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.
