[quote]The transfer portal mess is what’s truly ruining the sport more than NIL. But I’d like to see how the recent non-compete clause ruling pertains to the transfer portal.[/quote] Agree 100%.
Unlimited, unrestricted transfers have resulted in nothing more than placing these kids on an auction ...

[quote]The "league" would also need to place stiff restrictions on transfers.

It’s not feasible. Schools are not paying players ergo a cap on them wouldn’t work. What you are suggesting is capping private individuals and businesses or limiting what players can earn from businesses and private individuals.

[quote]Tennessee and Virginia are 2 of the latest trying to reinvent NIL for personal gain. Others will simply follow suit if they perceive an advantage.
