Part of the problem is that there’s not nearly enough money to go around. Promises are being made that may or may not come to fruition. And it’s not just limited to LSU.
But yes, the portal, which is unmitigated free agency essentially every day, mixed with no regulation on paying teenagers, is a recipe for College Football‘s demise. I know I sound like a broken record, and many others have said this, but the pageantry College Football used to have is quickly waning. The NFL will be the ultimate beneficiary.

That’s typically what people do when they want a raise. If you’re waiting for someone to just give one to you out of the blue, you’re fooling yourself.

Done all the time. Get a better offer from another company, tell current employer that you have said better offer and if you are actually a commodity to the current company they may match or pay more than the offer.

I mean, you could always leave that job and look for one with more money if you aren't happy with it. Apparently, there's not enough demand for some of y'all's jobs like there are for college football players, though.
This right here.
And you can always tell the pissed off jealous folks who have shite jobs that anyone can do by just how angry they get over this.

Not a good analogy. In my world (IT), the "five-star" players are worth their weight in gold. There aren't that many of them, and companies that have them work their tails off to keep them.
And they don't take kindly to headhunters sniffing around to poach them, either. I know of several "consulting" firms that used to do good business, only to find themselves on the outs for trying to hire an IT star away from a company they had a contract with.
Joe Schlub 3-star network engineer, however, might as well be a commodity stocked at Walmart. His type is treated like they're are a dime a dozen, and not hard to keep (or get rid of, or replace if needed).
That's the better analogy.

What about enrollment dates and class schedules? I get the universities would just make that work, but I could see them getting sued by "normal" students for enforcing those policies. Might not win, but would be funny.

When I saw Kardell Thomas thanking those who "reached out" when he announced he was transferring AGAIN I was amazed that is now allowed. He publicly said it.
Yeah no one reached out in the way he is implying. Dude is delusional.

Yup. Exactly like schools have been paying players but not all of them were stupid enough to do it via their wife's checking account.

This is exactly right. Imagine the NFL, but with no draft, no salary cap, (effectively) no roster limit, and unlimited free agency. Think what a joke that would be in terms of competitive balance. Sadly, that is where college sports are headed.

If he goes to a Power 4 Conference upper echelon team(Top 4) - he still looks like he physically (physique) like he’s overweight. Now I’m not saying he’s not in shape but no disrespect to Fla AM buts there’s absolutely no way he could keep up with intense speed of practice such as LSU or Alabama compared where he’s coming from. OL that is, different from skilled players. I remember seeing that Video clip of him pounding good DL in camps pre LSU and fell in love with him as a recruit. That injury he had early here really curtailed his career.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was thinking.
He actually made my point for me, whether he realizes or not.

What do other jobs have to with college competition?

Why is "college competition" different than every other job?
"College competition" band members on scholarship freely transfer all the time without sitting out.
"College competition" sport coaches do, as well.
What is the difference?
