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

Jadon Rashada the 13 million dollar qb is now. RS Soph and on his 4-5th school

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

There are a few thing's that can be done to change most of this crazy crap... Limit transfer's and only allow special cases to transfer... Transfer only one time would help and also the NCAA has to grow a pair and come up with rules of the amount of money a team can pay like the NFL with contracts... Sign with a team and you are locked in for at least 2 years and make them agree to a certain amount for one single year after meeting playing an agreed amount of snaps...
Take control as it's already gotten out of control...

I love college football, but NIL/the portal is really making it harder to get as excited about things as I used to.

The orignial deal with NIL was it didnt matter where you were because it wasnt the school directly or indirectly paying you, it was your freedom to go out and obtain any advertisers you wanted to sell you name and likeness to. But of course that went the direction everyone knew it woudl where its got nothign to do with NIL and just about teams bidding for players and finding money to fund that with.

10000000% correct.

This is the correction for adults making millions and millions of dollars over the last 30 years off these kids back.

"these kids" have never had an adult make money off them. Not one time.

If everyone wants to to make it right, they need to pay reparations to every NCAA athlete prior to NIL and transfer portal.

Laugh it up. It is coming. They are the only ones with actual damages to their career.

Ducks must have paid upfront - no need to stay if you can get another check elsewhere...

Exactly what is happening and they guys with potential but haven’t proven anything good or bad are taking advantage. It sucks. This pay needs to be paid out based on staying if you don’t play or production period.
