Every year? This kid proves you can free agent twice a month

Even before the portal I stopped paying attention to recruiting and the drama with these kids. They decommit all the time and crave attention. ESPN certainly didn’t help things with the constant coverage of those guys either.

The portal stuff has to be exhausting for these coaches.

I’m not sure G5 attendance is down strictly because of portal.

Attendance in sports has been trending down for a while. Lots of reasons that have been discussed on many different threads here over the years.

Also, a lot of players leaving P5 for G5 so it’s probably a wash.



I’m not sure about a sit out. That unfairly punishes the kid.

I do think some better organization/rules are warranted.

Like I said, kids can be hoodwinked. Be sold something, get buried on depth chart, or just the experience in general can be different than want they expected.

Underclassmen should be able to transfer.

Jrs and Srs need to have really good reason. Coaching change, playing time. Money also, but that gets into free agency type stuff, market transparency in terms of what positions are making. Can’t just say “So and so offered me xyz…” alright let’s see and let us counter.

Same goes for other side of that coin in terms of coaches just bringing new talent willy nilly and experienced players who have performed getting bumped.

All that essentially means there needs to be a professional structure with contracts and free agency period with rules.

Young kids sign temporary/probationary less strict agreements. Sophomore season it’s time for both parties to commit/lock in for the next 2-3 years.

as it is right now college sports has free agency for every player every semester
not one pro sport has that
no they should not be allowed to become a free agent (transfer) every year
