Go back to the old transfer rules where you have to sit out a year unless you are a grad transfer or you go down a level would help a lot. The free agency aspect of the portal pisses me off more than blatantly paying a kid. I do agree there needs to be transparency and I think the NCAA probably legally could institute a salary cap of sorts. You want to spend half your cap on a QB then you have to build the rest of your team with what’s left.

If the athletes come back and say you are restricting my ability to earn then say ok you are now free to go pro straight out of high school…. Good luck with that 99.9% of recruits. Nobody is a top earner in their field at 18 damn years old.

This would really put talent evaluation and development back at the forefront. When your Moneyball guy tells you these two 3 stars with upside cost the same as that one 4 star it makes for a very interesting recruiting. No one school could buy all the top talent and maintain a 85 man roster. You would have a few teams that would go the pro roster route and have like a 55 man roster of higher rated guys but would be super thin.

I think NIL is separate issue from transfer portal

they are mingled yes, but keep it separate

I am okay with portal if NIL is fixed

NIL contracts should state- 'if you leave us, you return a percentage of the funds"...this will cut down on bolting and other schools poaching players

NIL is a contract, both parties must hold it up!

The grad transfer rule should be eliminated, too.

They 100% cannot.

The NFL can't regulate player endorsement deals, either.

The NCAA lost this case 9-0 at the Supreme Court. Alito and Sontamayor both agreed fully that the NCAA was breaking the law by limiting this. Think about how much impact that sort of ruling has. Any court that examines this issue will understand how limited the NCAA is in this area.

a. No schools, especially big ones, want this.

b. That's an NFL rule more than an NCAA rule.
