BECAUSE IT'S MAKING THE SPORT SHITTY.
Give 3 legitimate examples of how players being able to transfer makes the sport shitty.

It sucks seeing your guy suit up for your rival.
Cry me a river. Or don’t watch anymore. You think just because an 18 year old went to your school for one year that he’s now “your player”?

Dude, we're not going to agree on this. I just think the fan experience should take much more priority over players' rights in college football. Do whatever you want in the pros. But NIL and unlimited transfers makes the sport worse for the fans. I don't care if it makes it better for the players.

Three examples:
* the “sport” of recruiting is over. The excitement over a player’s potential is negated by the likelihood they’ll transfer to Miss State, or wherever, after two years.
* the players get all sorts of benefits from the coaches, nutritionists, academic mentors and trainers and then when it is time for them to run out on the field and help win football games they leave - no return on that investment for the program.
* Bowls are even more meaningless. We already had opt-outs for the NFL and now we also have opt-outs for the portal. Florida State, undefeated ACC champion, is going to send out their third-stringers to play a NY6 bowl.
and…
* yes, I do care whose name is on the back of the jersey. Had Keyshon Boutte, in fact, transferred to Bama but one of THEIR 5-star receivers portaled in to play for LSU, that would not be the same to me. I do fall into the camp of “that’s OUR guy” - as naive as that is…
If you want to have a free agency model, they might want to invent a 3-year contract with 1-year options after that.
