Being able to transfer to the highest bidder every year is just pure lunacy. There should be 4 year contracts with the only out being the NBA or quitting sports. No jumping from team to team. Thoughts?
Just go back to the old standard of transferring and sitting out a year before playing. Most would rather stay and play, but if a player finds that they had made the wrong choice or the situation is toxic, they would be willing to sit out a year. That would weed out most of this crap we see now.Being able to transfer to the highest bidder every year is just pure lunacy.

I agree, we need to get back to limiting individuals freedoms for the sake of our entertainment.Being able to transfer to the highest bidder every year is just pure lunacy. There should be 4 year contracts with the only out being the NBA or quitting sports. No jumping from team to team. Thoughts?
Can't the courts have took over. It's a temporary injunction at the moment.Just go back to the old standard of transferring and sitting out a year before playing.

Yeah, there's no place for competitive balance. This is America!I agree, we need to get back to limiting individuals freedoms for the sake of our entertainment.
And there it is. Only took a couple posts for the jackasses to come out.I agree, we need to get back to limiting individuals freedoms for the sake of our entertainment.
I don't think they should have to sit out. How about 2 year contracts? Not happy, you can move on?You can't take away players freedom of movement and freedom to make a living just because its better for your fandom.
Should you have to sit out a year if you want to change jobs? See how absurd that concept is?
Yeah, I don't know. Something will definitely have to give. This is chaotic. The NBA one and done era is taking a back seat to the revolving door of players that we now have. It could be seen as pro basketball light with the NIL in the mix.Can't the courts have took over. It's a temporary injunction at the moment.
The NCAA wasted millions of dollars fighting every change in court instead of getting ahead of the curve now we have this mess. The whole world knew change was coming but Mark Emmert was hell bent it wouldn't be on his watch.
I like this idea. Or maybe include some academic incentive if you don’t want to sit out, i.e., maintain a 3.0 GPA and pass at least 24 hours in a given year.Just go back to the old standard of transferring and sitting out a year before playing.

An acute observation.You can't take away players freedom of movement and freedom to make a living just because its better for your fandom.

I think there is a chance the NCAA gets control over this back from the courts but it may be too late by the time they do. The NCAA is looking to add APR type graduation tracking to the transfers portal guys going forward.Yeah, I don't know. Something will definitely have to give. This is chaotic.

LOL. Start with coaches first. Think about it, you have a 17 year old kid headed off to college and play on a full ride. Keep in mind MOST of these kids, it is a beginning of a job interview for them. Kid puts his faith in a grown adult who came to HIM and promised to make sure his dreams come true, tells his mother he will look after her son. Mom / son take a leap of faith and decide to believe in the grown adult who promised this kid all this in the living room of their home. Kid did not seek out adult, adult traveled miles to try to lure the kid to come help make him millions. The young kid packs up his few belongings, moves away from home with NO family or friends to confide to. Coach suddenly has a change of heart, packs up and moves miles away to promise other young kids he will do the exact same thing he had promised the kid before him. Coach gone, kid is really by himself and has no idea what his future brings,,,, at the young age of 17-18 years old.Being able to transfer to the highest bidder every year is just pure lunacy. There should be 4 year contracts with the only out being the NBA or quitting sports. No jumping from team to team. Thoughts?

It's sure starting to look that way.Being able to transfer to the highest bidder every year is just pure lunacy. There should be 4 year contracts with the only out being the NBA or quitting sports. No jumping from team to team. Thoughts?
Your stay here is going to be rather short. FYI.I agree, we need to get back to limiting individuals freedoms for the sake of our entertainment.
Only 25 schools make a profit. The rest of 40 power 5 schools lose $17M annually. When student athlete start getting paid from TV revenues, various sports will be cut from the budget and scholarship limits will be cut. Football could go fro 83 to 60. Can’t wait to hear the howling over thatIt won't be dead, but some teams that normally don't compete will now start to . The NCAA and the schools shouldn't have been selfish and shared some of the money with the people that were making it for them.
It's not that, but surely there is a framework that stops the kids from killing their own meal ticket, let's them make some money, and keeps the fans invested.I agree, we need to get back to limiting individuals freedoms for the sake of our entertainment.
Did you even bother to read the op?Do we really need another thread for the old guys on here complaining about college sports.
If you don't like it anymore, go find another hobby.
The games are still fun to watch.
If it bothers you that these kids can bargain each year for better pay, that's a you problem not a college basketball problem.
It sounds like you are only a fan if the kids are restricted in a way that makes you happy. That is sad and selfish.
They are the workers. It is their lives. Let them get all the benefits they can from all the hard work they put in. Stop being so selfish.
Why is he a jackass for asserting a counter-view? In principle, he's not wrong.And there it is. Only took a couple posts for the jackasses to come out.
There’s only pro sports now. It’s just a different league.
He's a jackass because he made up something totally out of the blue and ran with it. No one has said the kids don't deserve to be paid.Why is he a jackass for asserting a counter-view? In principle, he's not wrong.
Going backwards is not a solution. NIL is not going anywhere. One year sit out is gone.
And the truth is that college sports were never really stable. There is a huge elephant in the room that no one wants to address, which is that the actual intent of college is education. Our entire post-high school professional sports system is an inefficient mess and it always has been.
It's not all bad either. The transfer window, while intense, is actually a pretty fun window that extends interest in sports past the season. Now, there are obvious downsides to that, but it's not all doom and gloom.
YupDid you even bother to read the op?
Do the NBA players work on an at will basis?Yup
He is a fan that wants the players to sign 4 year contracts.
An observer that wants to dictate the lives of the workers the he likes to observe.
Selfish
Let the workers get as many benefits as possible.
They are the ones making all the sacrifices. They are the ones that get injured. They are the ones who may suffer from chronic pain and disabilities later in life cause of all the wear and tear they put on their bodies, so that you as a fan can have an enjoyable product to watch.
