    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.

    People have been complaining about corruption and cheating ever since Rutgers laced it up against Princeton

    Did you have good seats?

    it’s Wild West right now but within 5 years it will be reigned in somehow

    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.

    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.

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

    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
