You knew all hell would break loose considering "Universities" (in the lowest sense) did everything they could to circumvent NCAA rules for gridiron Banners and pats on the back.

So now we have arrested development adults playing in the,Asylum with greedy young athletes... And the shadiest bunch of all (Congress) has to step in...that's how far we've fallen as a Society and what truly matters.



I tend to agree with this

Not if he isn't on track scholarship.

quote:

On Wednesday, the Division I Cabinet adopted a proposal that penalizes programs that sign a transfer student-athlete, add a transfer student-athlete to a roster, or allow a transfer student-athlete to participate in athletically related activities before the student-athlete is entered into the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Penalties — which are automatically triggered — include a suspension of the respective sport's head coach for 50% of a season and a fine of 20% of that sport's budget.

The rule change, which was initially proposed by the Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee and has been adopted for all sports in Division I, is effective immediately and applies to all transfers on or after Feb. 25, 2026.

I see what you’re saying but he shouldn’t be allowed to play football at his new school.

This actually doesn't seem as bad as it appeared. Clearly a loophole, but this guy is legit and has competed at UCLA in track and field.

Then cool, he can compete in track and field and be eligible for football when he clear the football portal protocol next year while being ineligible this year.

It all started with the "poor athlete" BS


I’ll say it until I’m 6ft under.

1. The kids were getting paid. We had a system/code amongst thieves to keep a quiet salary cap in place. $50k-$60k a year, apartment and car was pretty baseline.

2. The big money/exotic cars came from agents. Basically if a kid played well, an agent would step in. That made the players actually give a damn and not just take a bag of cash to be mediocre.

3. Case in point, look at the outrage for Cam getting $250k and the under the table witch hunt that forced freezus out of Ole Miss. Could have told you before the ink was dry on his auburn contract that Freezus would be a flop without a stacked Saban esque deck.

We got guys who have been picked in the NBA draft playing college basketball


Did you know that Larry Bird was drafted 6th in 1978 by the Celtics? But he decided to return to school for another year and did not join the NBA until 1979.

Point being, you're not in the NBA until you actually sign a contract and play in the NBA.
