College football sucks now. I collect and smoke cigars instead of watching it. My life is much more satisfying.

Also should have added: need to sit a year if transfer within conferencentxduck said:
That…that is the rule alreadyLongDukDong said:They need to cap it at one transfer in your career without sitting. Second transfer you sit a year.
Also we are on a fast track to contracts and salary caps like the nfl -

It’s over. Players transferring to rival schools is the capper. If someone doesn’t why that is a problem, then they don’t understand college football. And when people don’t understand college football, college football is dead.RaceBannon said:I don't mind NIL or the portal
UW can either embrace it or whine about other teams kicking their ass
My issue with college ball is the playoffs but that isn't going away either
There is some merit to the changes killing the game, but I also think it could end up being not a big deal.
So either way it will be interesting?RoadDawg55 said:

I agree with you.MikeDamone said:
And time to realize the things that set college football apart from anything else is gone.greenblood said:Time to deal with it. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see most top players transfer at least once in their college career. What big time player doesn’t want to test the unrestricted free agent market that is the portal? See how much you can get and take it.
They can fuck off. I'm sure I'll be missed.
The players have ruined every professional league except for the NFL (they are coming close)
The only reason it hasn’t caved completely is because they have enough money to fight. -
I feel terrible for Oklahoma, especially after *checks notes* winning the Heisman trophy with transfer QB Baker Mayfield, then winning a second Heisman trophy with transfer QB Kyler Murray, and then making the playoffs with transfer QB Jalen Hurts.

The game itself is fun but the insanity of it all and the fanbases are whats really fun. I just want all my sports to be WWE which college football is pretty damn close to. Entertainment >>>RoadDawg55 said:

People have been complaining about corruption and cheating ever since Rutgers laced it up against Princeton
-
Or it won't. Did you ever think of that???WilburHooksHands said:it’s Wild West right now but within 5 years it will be reigned in somehow
-
It used to be that transfers had to sit out a year and that transfers within conferences had to sit out 2 years.
Now it's a total shit show and 2 years in-conference went down to ZERO. -
I'm in the crowd that will watch it until we can't
Lot of kids screaming at clouds here
No one cares what we think

There is something to this. I think the sudden onrush of portal and NIL is to dissipate some of the built up discontent over player rights, etc.WilburHooksHands said:it’s Wild West right now but within 5 years it will be reigned in somehow
Once it becomes an obvious shitshow (currently in progress) conference leaders and committees, etc. will get together to rein it in a bit.
For instance, if you portal, you don't get to grad transfer. Or, you get one and only one chance to portal after 2 years from signing LOI.
Giving players total freedom to immediately transfer is actually logistically unsupportable IMO and these teams are complex organizations. ADs are dumping money into recruiting and development and then players are walking away freely from the investments.
If a coaches conference comes up with a strongly worded resolution it will have impact, universtity presidents will sign on...etc.
-
NIL deals should be standardized to have language that forces players to stay 2-3 years, and players should only be allowed to portal once, second time have to sit out a year and school can veto destinations.
I don’t mind players getting paid but right now the whole thing is absurd. Want to get paid fine, need rules regarding moving teams like the pros have.
The kids right now also don’t seem to realize they need the fans just as much as the fans need them. Loyalty is a two way street.
Killing college football for the next generation, shout out to the players. -
I like the idea of free agency being allowed in recruiting, but once players are in a school they're locked in to 3 years before they can get out. That's the same thing as pro sports. Allowing players to jump from place to place every year is bullshit, IMO. Fuck the kids.Edwin_Bambino said:NIL deals should be standardized to have language that forces players to stay 2-3 years, and players should only be allowed to portal once, second time have to sit out a year and school can veto destinations.

When you have 500 players in the portal and 450 of them are ignored it will sort itself out

It's been out of control for 25 years+. Some of the money is finally reaching the players. The conferences and the NCAA are victims of their own success - they leveraged the insatiable demand from content, especially content that basically demanded you watch it live, into billions of dollars. Everyone involved paid themselves massive salaries the point that a glorified gym teacher coaching outside linebackers would get 1%'er money on a middling staff at a middling school. The head of the "amateur" NCAA pays himself $2 million dollars a year to sit around with the other hypocrites and sniff each others farts and wax poetically about "student athletes." They've built palaces for these players to work out, live, and play in and then ask us to pay $200 a ticket to watch them play some directional school so the team can pad their record with a couple guaranteed wins. The athletic directors, the conference commissioners, the bowl game presidents, the talking head announcers, all get paid 10x what most people in this country make in a year.
But sure *now* it is out of control because players don't have to sit a year when they transfer. -
The funny thing is even with all the adults getting rich the boosters still pay the players and there is so much money that schools can still fund 13 women's sports while building Hookers and Blow Centers for the football squad.
Leave it to all involved to kill it -

Performance based NILs as well -
Strictly from an organizational perspective it is out of control because players can move so freely. Just from a basic competitive standpoint I don't think losing entire position groups, at any given moment, is healthy for the enterprise.Alpo said:It's been out of control for 25 years+.

Every sport imposes limitations on players just so the actual sport can take place with a semblance of competitive balance.
Plus, the player schollies have never really been performance-based, so the kids have had a nice ride in these palaces you mention. The scholarship packages at even shitty schools are pretty great and definitely a product of the money-making side of CFB.
-
Wait for the scholarship limit to be rendered irrelevant when NIL payments pay for tuition, room and board and schools can recruit in excess of the 85 limit.

Agree with this. We’re focusing on the portal right now because it’s fresh news but I think it’s more so possibly feeling the final blow mixed in with the destruction the playoffs have caused, players sitting out bowl games and now, as someone mentioned before, waiting for your entire roster to recommit each year with photoshops in front of volcanos, on Twitter.RaceBannon said:When you have 500 players in the portal and 450 of them are ignored it will sort itself out
I suppose all the stuff that we liked about the college game, going away.
