re: So basically, from now on, every kid who can't crack the starting lineup will transfer.

Paying back the value of the scholarship plus whatever other benefits they get would be one way to stop it but it wouldn't address the fact that some players are encouraged to transfer because of ability or academics.

What’s corrupt? This would be like an NFL with no salary caps (enabling big market teams to dominate with unlimited money), no contracts, (basically constant free agency for every player). It’s pure insanity. What’s to prevent a billionaire from funneling millions to players at their favorite school.
I believe that is called the free market not corruption.

You have to pay a key few guys you know are the future to stay. They have to get some snaps too, but it’s better to pay the ones you know have it well enough to stay put than to replace them.

Only if they place a similar rule for coaches too
Hell No. A coach and a player are not equivalent. That’s an absurd analogy.
After freshman year, players should be able to transfer (two week window.) After that, they have to sit out a year.
If a coach is terminated, only players that letter should have a two week window.
If a coach just leaves, no transfer option.
Grad transfers remain unchanged.

Only about 30% of the portal kids get picked up No idea what happens to the others.
For a lot of,kids they know they only have so long to get film for a hoped for NFL gig.
I wish they would develop and wait. But I don’t blame them for moving around.

It’s pretty non sustainable. Basically, every player, on every team is an unrestricted free agent. Every year.
I would not own any Saints gear if that was the way NFL rosters were constructed. Player development, loyalty, team pride, and long term relationship building have all been replaced by the mighty dollar in college football.
It would be hard to support an NFL team if I could never be sure that my favorite players were there on a long term commitment. These college athletes are all on perpetual one year deals.
I love them getting their money, it’s long overdo, but the rules of unlimited transferring have to be revisited.
Spot on. I quit watching the NFL back in the day...post Marino and the Marks brothers. Loved that team. Then, the players moved around too much...teams were very different every year...They lost me. I knew college football would change drastically if the opened Pandora's box with this BS. My interest has waned...I hope the pendulum swings back the other way and the wild west is reigned in. Otherwise, a thing I grew up loving and still do...may wither on the vine for me.

Yea think about Marshall right now. They won their conference title only to be rewarded with basically the entire team going into the portal because the HC took another job.
Way to win a conference title then destroy an entire football program within days guys.

Then your a weekend warrior my friend! Your not a true tiger!
Trust me I hate this crap and wish we could go back in time and fix this shite show before Pandoras box was open!
But with that said I love LSU football! There's no going back so #GEAUXTIGERS

If you are being paid to play and signing a 1 year NIL contract then I don't see the issue. It sucks but will be the norm going forward unless some major rule changes with portal happen.
Posted on 12/12/24 at 6:09 am to Slippy
man y'all take this way too seriously.
So what if they do? It's happening to every team out there. If they can transfer to a team where they get to be a starter earlier then good for them.

Yeah, and the first time a coach yells at one of these little snow flakes, the agent’s calls will start. That’s another reason Saban left. He wasn’t about to coddle them.

Every fan base feels this way

I think it would have to be nil deals written explicitly for what it actually is pay for play
The NIL payors don't want this. They don't want to "employ" college football players to play football. That brings with it a whole set of employment laws/issues they don't want to deal with. The players would need to be employed by the schools...not a hodgepodge group of wealthy business owners, tech CEOs, lawyers, real-estate developers, etc. Pat Mahomes isn't employed by State Farm to play football, and they don't want to. He's employed by the KC Chiefs to do that.

ou don’t play you get no pay, miss a practice you get no pay, you get in a fight at practice with a coach you get no pay, you stay for a second year and playing the first game you will get a yearly bonus the following Sunday after staying for a second consecutive year.
Sounds great...but the free market would likely render such teams moot. For example, let's say I'm the No. 1 rated HS QB. LSU, Texas, Michigan, Ohio St, Georgia, etc ALL want me to come play for them. They all indicated willing to give me a $5M NIL deal. However, LSU, Ohio St., Georgia want to make that deal incumbent upon the terms/restrictions you laid. Michigan and Texas don't. Where do you think I'm going to sign? Not with one of the schools putting restrictions on me. Which means fans on the Tiger Rant will start SCREAMING about LSU's HC and NIL payors not being able to sign top players...which will, in turn, lead them to abandon those demands of restrictions.

this....
also another ruling buy the courts made it to where there can be no restriction on NIL deals
there has to be some over arching settlement that fixes this. hopefully that is the one planned for next year
the bigger problem is the transfer over and over instead of NIL. NIL is out of hand but we knew it would be, the damn transfer rules are insane
but you can not blame the players...if you are doing a job and another company comes and gives you a 50% pay raise each year, you are going to switch every time too.

That’s the part that would stop if they took the portal away. But that is totally possible. Michigan/booster would only owe him 3 million though, because it was 12 million for 4 years. You’re not going to stop or take away NIL now, the only way to slow this nonsense down is by giving at minimum 1 transfer only and you have to sit out a year after that or give no free transfers.

So stop watching it. If it causes you this much angst, just give it up.
Of course we can stop watching, but we'd instead prefer the game we've loved to be fixed.

Again, this issue was already litigated. The NCAA lost (temporarily), but saw the writing on the wall that they would lose the argument permanently. In response, the NCAA changed its rule requiring mult-time transfers to sit a year after the 1st transfer.

Well, I don’t keep up with all of it that much and didn’t know that. If they can’t enforce those rules, it’s going to eventually crash and burn then. NIL will cause ticket prices to skyrocket over time and less people will attend and people will get tired of all the transfer madness and just quit watching. Then there would possibly be changes once the profits for the big dogs gets drastically reduced.

due to this we just need to trim the fat. Go with a 50 man roster. that way you aren't throwing money away at someone who is gonna jump ship and the less people you have the more you can pay them. Plus you always have room to add someone if needed.
2 deep at each starting position
1 punter
1 kicker
1 long snapper
then you still have 3 spots to fill with positions of your choice
