How is a hard cap constitutional without a collective bargaining agreement?
ETA: would also love to see how they define a “super league”, that’s a vague term with no real current definition.

Yes, adding government is the answer

- Hard cap
- 1x transfer
- 5 for 5 (clock starts no later than 19 regardless of when you graduate HS)
would fix almost every existential problem college sports are facing
It sucks the government has to get involved, but without some sort of intervention, these athletic programs are going to bankrupt themselves and take the institutions down with them.

NIL sucks (in its current form), but if we had a 1x transfer rule it would eliminate a TON of reasons why NIL sucks so bad.
Crazy to think that it wasn't THAT long ago you had to sit out a year at your new school if you transferred. That seems like it was centuries ago.

How do you do this with NIL? When it’s making money on your own? SEC/Big10 teams (and Texas Tech and Notre Dame) will not follow the rules. They’ll circumvent the rules like they did the last hundred years and pay players under the table

- 1x transfer
So how do we determine market value after they’ve used the 1 transfer, will they just sit out if a team says they aren’t paying? What about if the coach transfers?

Yes immediately.

Why does congress have any say in how college sports operates? This nonsense would get tossed out in five seconds

If this passes it would be tossed out by the courts as an illegal restraint of trade faster than Gene Wilder took the chess piece away from Cleavon Little in Blazing Saddles. This is nothing more than political pandering trying to get votes in November from fans who refuse to accept that in 2026 college football is a business, no different than any other zillion-dollar business.
I suppose you didn’t see the stuff floating around today about how the SEC is preliminarily looking at collective bargaining, which is the real answer here.

Will be challenged and struck down in the courts.

You cant cap true NIL
Schools will find a way to make it look like true NIL

Will the players be employees or student athletes? That difference will have massive title IX implications. Not to mention the women folk are actively trying to slaughter the golden goose in the ninth circuit by saying title IX entitles them to equal revenue share.

I don’t see how one free transfer ends roster chaos at all

Harsh penalties. How many shady deals do you think get done after a power program gets slapped with a two-year playoff ban? That's literally all it would take to get people to fall in line. Schools willing to pay players under the table were not afraid of the consequences.

They are free to exercise the sit out a season option that worked for many years. You could create a waiver for when coaches leave. This may even encourage schools to stick with coaches longer, thus saving themselves from these preposterous buyouts.
Killing the free for all portal would go a long way in curbing out of control NIL as well.

I know how it helps.............players dont want to sit out .......so they wont just jump to the next school for cash???
Cash vs Playing...............that will halt some of them.

quote:I don’t either. If you want to keep someone on campus start to finish you would still have to win 2 bidding wars. 2 is better than 4-5, but schools basically still have to walk on eggshells and worry about player happiness because the threat of transfer never goes away. The correct number is 1. Go back to sitting out a year unless their coach leaves

An actual fix entails employment contracts with clawbacks if someone wants to transfer
The concept and enforceability of an NIL hard cap is also laughable

Lets just make it simple for everyone, whatever cheating tackticks saban, oats, and all the other gump coaches have been doing for years is now banned! Nil is fine, but no more paying players directly like saban would do at the airports with dufle bags. And no more sneaking back to the college game like dirty mr oats tried this year. Lets bring back the pureness of the college game like the founding fathers of the ncaa wanted!
