re: Transfer portal policy fix

School is not a career, nor a professional job.
Tell that to the multi-billion dollar college football industry. Coaches can promise high school kids all the bullshite in the world to get them to sign and bolt the day after signing day to go make more money. Everyone had the freedom to jump from school to school except the players. The players are literally the product on the field everyone is paying for. I have ZERO issue with a player transferring to a school if their first choice isn't a good fit. I do agree that the current portal rules are a little too open. I'd like to see some restrictions. However, that might need to be something done on a conference level (i.e. the SEC could forbid schools from accepting transfers from a conference rival, etc). There is nothing wrong with someone wanting a better fit for himself. However, he shouldn't be able to bring the playbook to someone on next season's schedule.

Making them sit out a year would discourage the free agency that has taken over college football.

Explain how and why this should be different for an athlete versus a coach?
It pisses me off to see our players like our DBs go to our rivals. But Coaches don't honor commitments either. I love the Brian Kelly hire for LSU. But let's be real, he was literally out recruiting for Notre Dame when the news broke about him taking the LSU job. How can we bitch about "kids" and "commitment" and tell them that they are the only ones being held to that standard?

Separate the NIL from the portal by requiring a 1 yr cooling period on NIL deals following a transfer

Or if your getting paid you hv to honor your contract first, if not yes you hv to sit out a year. If not getting paid you can transfer without hving to sit out.

Less freedom and more regulation?
If I sign an offer letter to go work for a company and they pay my expenses to relocate and give me a sign-on bonus, I would almost certainly be obligated to work for the company for at least a year(sometimes longer) or I owe them that money back.
401k and IRA Vesting periods are used in the same manner. They discourage employees from leaving before the company sees a ROI from the employee.
If players wanna get paid real money, real world rules should apply.

Ah, here comes the Boomer 101 “commitment” speech.
Keep on thinking it’s that simple with no regard for the athlete. Makes you look like you’re on top of things.

The problem is that with the portal, and now NIL, recruiting never really ends. Any freshman who goes to school A can be told by School B that they have a shoe deal worth $500k if they will transfer over. As it is now, they just have to hop in the portal and poof! Perhaps they could make a rule that any NIL deal requires a 3 year commitment to stay at the university, and if they don't stay, they have to pay it back. Or, just make it where they have to sit out a year like it used to be. This stuff is getting ridiculous. But the genie is out of the bottle, so I'm not sure how you can walk it back.

Not everyone applies the same “real world rules,” nor should they.

Nope.

The “teaching moment” is that the majority of kids in Top Tier conference programs who enter the portal (55-60%) wind up at worse schools and worse situations.
There is a serious penalty for a lot of kids who enter the portal. Most wind up in a lower tier program or no program at all. There are serious consequences for most of these kids for “not finishing what they started”.
There’s nothing wrong with the portal. The only thing wrong for some of you is that you want to restrict the freedom of players.

Telling them they have to sit a year if they transfer out before RS JR or SR year is not restricting their freedom. They still have the choice to do whatever they want.

It's not restricting freedom. Pro football players can't just leave a team whenever they want. They can demand a trade or sit out, but the team doesn't have to honor the trade request.

Portal should only be available to upperclassmen.

You don’t have to portal when you drop down to FBS

I like your idea with the exception of a coaching change. If the coach you came in with gets fired/leaves you should be free to move on.

Ah, here comes the Boomer 101 “commitment” speech.
You know what a Boomer is? Someone who's been around the block a few times, and has enough life experiences to make calmer, reasoned, and hopefully wiser, decisions on most issues than young folks who don't have years of experience in the real world.
And yes, Boomers were kids once too -- we haven't forgotten that.

Until the NCAA restricts current coaches under contract from going to other schools, then why should players be restricted from leaving? If you want players remaining at their schools, then make the coaches honor and fulfill their contracts and stay as well.
So under your plan. Joe Burrow would have had to sit out after transferring to LSU from OSU.

Coaches do have contracts.
