He said 70/80 percent of his players said they would transfer or how much money to stay.....

Is 70/80% of these clowns going pro?
How many would be a camp body in the NFL?

No they would transfer to a school that had a higher NIL offer unless Bama NIL ponies up more money.

No, that’s why they’re trying to maximize their profitability while they still can.

Well they play in the NCAA. They aren't student athletes anymore. They'll go where the money is.

I get where he’s coming from. NIL and the transfer portal have it where coaches have to re-recruit their own players and get them NIL money to keep them out of the portal. At least in the NFL, you have a GM to handle roster moves and contract negotiations. And most key players get signed to multi-year contracts, so they can’t threaten to jump to a new team every offseason if they don’t get their way.

The NCAA is going to need to do something to go limit the wide open free transfer rule to curb the free agency taking over college football. Make transfers have to sit out a year again except situations where their head coach left or got fired. Or maybe a free transfer after their 3rd year. Courts will probably slap that idea down though unless schools were paying players directly and had them under contract that way though

You need someone that can negotiate the best deal for both parties. I believe LSU has navigated the new system as well as any other.

Nick Saban could have utilized the same help that LSU does.

Gordon.

The signs were right in front of him.

So is the school the agent for NIL money or can the student go find their own deals? I still don't completely understand the phrase "xxxxx school has 2 billion in NIL money to give to athletics".

WHO controls the money? Did Gordon say I have a couple milly I need to spend on advertising so find me 10 guys Coach Kelly?

The NIL deals 100% between the student and business?

It was more along the lines of a guarantee of how much playing time and how much NIL money. Thought process being if they could not get a reasonable amount of playing time they would transfer somewhere that they could. That’s a stark different business model than what Nick had previously. The days of having three five stars at one position and them “waiting for their time to shine”, them days are gone and not coming back.
