NIL is NOT the evil. The Transfer Portal is the Problem.

NIL has its issues and players are going to the highest bidder. While I don’t care for it, it is manageable for college football.
The biggest problem is the Transfer Portal. Unlimited transfers, is the root of evil and makes it impossible to build a roster. It’s created a year to year free agent system.
Get control of the transfer portal and that will help college football more than anything.
Put rules in place such as…. If you transfer from a Power 4 school you can only got to a non power school without sitting a year. If you transfer P-4 to P-4 you must sit a year (it’s allowed to be a redshirt year if you have it available).
Non Power 4 schools players can transfer to P-4 conference but they must be a Red Shirt Sophomore or Junior to Transfer. It helps the smaller schools.
I truly believe the portal being unlimited is the biggest problem in college football.

I think both programs need some limits

Coaches can jump schools at any time. Let the kids do the same.

Yep, but they go hand in hand. Making players sit out a year would help.

Yall do realize that LSU isn't the only team losing players to the Portal? It's affecting everyone. Some boats just have more holes than others.

I agree both programs needs limits but limits on portal is something much easier to control compared to NIL.

Neither is a problem in a vacuum. Together they become a real problem when there are no rules.

Absolutely, I know it’s NCAA wide issues. I’ve closely followed college football for years. My enjoyment overall has declined in the era because you cannot watch a roster develop anymore…

Its the synergy between the two.
But i agree, i dont care they make money but they’re all mercenaries for hire now. Theres no program, no development.
I cant watch college football in its current form.

And coaches pay buy outs to leave their schools…

One is a job, one is school. How is this that complicated. If a player wants to jump around take their scholarship and all the benefits that come with being a student athlete and they can pay their own tuition. Teach these kids what a commitment is, what earning things means, teach them to be accountable and responsible. Some of these kids are going to fall flat on their face when they’re not drafted and it’ll be the lack of being taught life lessons.

That's why we're having a general discussion about NIL and the portal. I'm not going back to check, but I think you were the first person in the thread who mentioned LSU.

I don't think either are the problem on their own. In tandem, they are destroying the sport. The NFL will start feeling the repercussions soon.

I think programs would benefit a good bit by eliminating recruiting rankings. These kids demand alot of money because they think they're hot shite. If they dont know how they stack up, then you can potentially limit the ludicrous payouts.

Why does it have to affect only LSU to be something that should be fixed?

On principle, I’ve never liked that students were bound to their schools.
I have a bigger problem with coaches and athletic departments involving themselves in paying players. That should be all on the players to seek NIL endorsements.

Not similar at all
Coaches have contracts & buyouts. Bryce Underwood just got paid $12M & could go to Ohio State next year penalty free

I completely agree. They can't control how much money a player makes from the local law firm, but they sure can make it to where they can't jump ship for the injury attorney in another state.
Roll it back to the pre-vid rules. Graduate transfers can play, everyone else has to wait a year. I'd even be ok if your position coach or a coach in the line leaves you get a free transfer. For example, they fire the OL coach, or the OC, or the HC, you can transfer for free.

Your right. If you slap 1 yr have to sit out on transfers, you stop 90+% of this. Kids have no leverage if they can't provide immediate production to a new team. Actually have to bind them to commiting to a school. Grad transfers would be as fluid as they are now and be where all the portal stuff would be like it was before.
Why the ncaa went the other way and now is allowing unlimited transfers is beyond me. It's gonna kill the sport

Glad people are starting to put these puzzle pieces together
Transfer portal is entirely solvable. People need to focus their energy there
Restrictions on NIL will only bring it back under the table if the portal movement is so untethered
