re: Iowa State has 17 players returning, 1 starter. The transfer portal is ruining CFB.

NIL isn't the problem, though.
The problem is the unbridled free agency with zero consequences.
NIL is a bigger problem at the G5 schools where you have players that likely won't go to the NFL, and may not quite be good enough to get serious playing time at a P4 school, so they try to cash in one last time before starting their careers as high school assistant coaches.
Then you've got dickheads like Brandon Shelvin in Lafayette who open up an agency down the street from the university and then calls around and shops UL's players to other teams - usually without the player even knowing. Then they reach out - probably to a mom - and say "if you enter the portal I can get you $30k".
Nevermind the full ride scholarship to a university that could give you a degree that could set you up for life... Gotta get that $30k bag for football

I also don't like it, but mainly bc of how I was raised (dare I say, brainwashed) on the structure of organized sports and who I root for.
But maybe we should step back and simply think of it as a job. None of us have a problem with someone trying out multiple jobs or multiple schools until they find the right one.
I certainly wouldn't want job restrictions placed if I tried out a landscaping job at Texas aTm, then thought MSU might have a cooler climate, but then missed home and tried out Texas St, but then got a better offer in a dry climate at UNLV, but then realized it was way too hot for landscaping, only then to be told by some governing body told I have used up all my job-changing allowances.

If players still had to sit out a year when transferring, it would solve a lot of the issues with NIL. But I don’t think that toothpaste is going back in the tube.

You shouldn't be able to just pack up and quit like this. Letters of intent for sports need to be a contract now

The only thing that will slow it down is a penalty to transfer. Like before
Sit out a year and no NIL for that year

Honestly the NIL stuff doesn't bother me.
It’s the transfer crap that ruins college sports. Go back to those rules with the NIL and we're good.
This.
NIL is here to stay, but we need to go back to requiring an athlete to sit a year if he/she transfers. If a booster wants an athlete that bad at their school, then they can pay the first year where the athlete doesn’t see the field.
An exception can be made if the head coach that recruited said athlete leaves the program. But that’s it.

In a situation like this, where your coach has packed up and quit, I’m good with it.
It’s about the only time I’m good with it.

That guy has always been a POS, even before he started doing this NIL agency thing.

About 1/4 of FBS schools had a head coaching change this offseason. I don’t think there should be an exception for a coaching change
NFL players’ contracts aren’t voided if the coach leaves. Why should paid athletes in college be any different?

Nah.. thats a 'limitation on the ability make money off of your name'
They'll eventually give up this 'student athlete' and scholarship farce, and the players will be under contract like any other employee.
The question is, will they be able to limit then from leaving in the middle of the contract like the coaches love to do?

Is this “bad”? New coach coming in. Players weren’t recruited by or committed to the new guy. Seems appropriate to me actually

Coaches pay buyouts to do that. Those liquidated damages are part of the contract.

Coaches sure as shite aren’t there to educate either. All about Straight Cash homie.
Big time College football is about multi billion dollar TV contracts, a tool to increase donations, corporate sponsorship, high ticket prices, and gambling apps
Ain’t about education, school spirit, or loyalty. This isn’t middle school football. Baws need to stop crying about the changes to college football. It’s not about love of the game anymore and coaches aren’t glorified PE teachers either. Roll with it or get rolled over.

You need enforceable contracts, you can't have every single player on every single team being a free agent every year.
That would be a great way to sell hope to fans though… you’re never more than one year away from a potential winner

Not ruining.. The portal and NIL have ruined college fb

An easy solution would be to treat CFB like professional soccer. When a player signs, that team also ‘owns’ the transfer rights. If a guy enters the portal, they can still go wherever they want, but the school they transfer too must pay the pre set transfer fee [*based on the player’s premium] to the school he left.
This way smaller schools are incentivized to develop players for big ROIs on players, and mid to top level teams get funds to replace a player that leaves.
*Plus you’re. Putting a ‘luxury cap’ on the ‘rich’ teams and will slow them from gobbling up everyone good at once.
This could work. Would be such a massive transformation from how things have been but it would be better than the current wild west.

If they just bring back the sit out a year after transferring rule, this would mostly stop IMO.
Posted on 12/30/25 at 10:00 am to Roaad
If you think about it, Iowa State set the realignment/NIL arms race into motion way back in 2011.

Hopefully that would cut back on how many transfers teams take. Make it cost the schools who are willing to pay.
Sit out a year and no NIL for that year
