Once u get into a program, you grow with the program. No more playing musical chairs.

Colleges didn't choose to create the portal they were forced to do it

They didn’t agree the first place. They lost about 50 court cases in a row. If they would have acted in good faith and like adults we would’ve never gotten the disaster we have now. They’ve got no one to thank but themselves

How it was. Coaches with decent players hate the portal

If a HC, OC, DC leaves they should be able to also leave that year without sitting out a year.

If they just want to enter the portal, they should be able to leave once and sit out a year as well.

So coaches and schools should fulfill the entirety of agreed upon contracts as well then? No buyouts, no firings? The gander only follows the example of the goose.

They set it for covid and then left it in place making it become a pseudo standard, and then in a court case instead of appealing a temporary injunction to stop changes to restrict things a little once again they changed their policy to match without appealing it. They have done the same for 2 or 3 others cases.

The NCAA isn’t losing. It isn’t even trying. It wants to push the redistribution of wealth towards black families. Most of these people are the ones who pushed blm and actively or passively supported the summer of love. The liberal and leftist elites pushing their politics into everything they do as usual.

The writing on the wall is BS and is a self fulfilling prophecy if you keep choosing to never push back and keep waving the white flag at every temp injunction. It also does not mean as much as people think because people keep falsely attributing everything for this and NIL to a non-existing majority opinion in a Supreme Court case on NIL. It was a decision specifically about education benefits for scholarships being limited with one concurring opinion briefly bringing up NIL which the NCAA immediately waved the white flag to something they didn’t have to yet. Practices were in place for a century with Sherman as law. NIL should not be affected by standards on eligibility as if their NIL is valuable it will be regardless of what they are doing or where. Social media is full of influencers doing that crap, but NIL for the NCAA has been allowed to become pay for play not true Name, Image, and Likeness.

Regardless at some point sports leagues and universities can decide some standards and rules on eligibility for their sports programs and leagues. That will never happen with current NCAA.

The portal has been worse for college sports than NIL.

The portal combined with no rules NIL is a horrible combination that gives us the garbage product we have now.

I think the one time free transfer made sense, the 5 schools in 5 years is ridiculous

Was the portal forced pre-covid? It’s been around for awhile, but I can’t remember reason behind it being implemented back then. The more recent attempt to add some restrictions had a temporary injunction placed on it until trial could be completed which the NCAA didn’t appeal and then actually rewrote the rules based on that temporary injunction.

That’s not been forced. They are supporting these decisions and not fighting them at all. I am not even sure if the actual court cases are still going on. It allows the NCAA and university Presidents to push the notion that their hands were tied which is what most people here believe. They wanted this all of this to happen and are using temporary court injunctions and Supreme Court case on education benefits with a quick nod to NIL in a concurring opinion as shield to say it’s not them.

If the NCAA weren't so greedy to begin with, it probably never would have gotten this bad

Yeah, it’s disgusting when people push their politics where it doesn’t belong, like here.

It's partially because of Justin Fields.

His court case opened a can of worms.

Colleges could absolutely end the portal madness by making the players employees with enforceable contracts but they do not want the responsibility of being an employer for the players.

Or they could just not take in transfers. But when Clemson did this you guys in this board mocked and made fun of them. Now you claim the portal is bad. The portal is not good nor bad. It’s just a tool now. I love the portal because it has benefitted my team and diminished many other teams.

But, sure, schools could end it tomorrow if they simply stopped taking in transfers. And the fact is that the majority of players who enter the portal do not find a new home. What you guys are really complaining about is the top 200 players. I don’t think this board really cares about a D2 soccer player who enters and then isn’t offered.

Schools would be sued for collusion if they did this.

The portal was the last boulder holding back the slippery slope that’s led to today’s unsustainable model
