@Sources true?

Make them sign contracts. You forfeit all $$ if you don't finish the season. Or better yet, you can't portal for 2 years minimum.

Didn't Bryun Parham, the San Jose State transfer LB we had last year do this? Looks like he is on UConn now and has 5.5 sacks. Cool.
I think the UNLV QB last year did something like this trying to strong-arm the school for more money and they let him walk and it was a big story.

Good place to bring up that Fisch talked about Manu this week about playing him beyond 4 games or not so that he can come back and make money next year. Found it frustrating that he's bringing up concern for his income. You've played 1 game here and you're already making plenty I'm sure so how about you win one game as a starter here before considering next year

The most wonderful time of the year
-
How many years until we have actual in-season transfers? 2026? The 5.5 programs that the current setup works for need to fill the gaps they couldn't fill with unlimited high school bags and the portal.
-
crazy because you know he got paid. Hopefully these contracts start happening. They need to tie the kids into the schools for at least two years. These kids need to learn what adversity means and how to overcome it. You have kids seeing it through and our? fandom increases because you get to see a kid grow from a tiny frosh to all conference as a jr.
As I write this I realize that I truly hate the current state of college football. Problem is they just keep making more and more money so they don’t care.
Get off my lawn.

I don't hate this. Could have been a 🌊 legend like the dudes that won a cotton bowl over Riley.
Probably would've made more money in New Orleans overall.
Was promised stuff and he took it and Limar took his job. RealLyfe shit.
Just apologize and transfer back to 🌊

It’s a fine line, if you sue players for money paid that they didn’t earn, or have other NIL disputes, that gets used against you in recruiting. Then you probably need to pay more to offset the perceived friction. The agents will have all that intel eventually.
-
Shut it down. This is completely unsustainable and stupid. The schools really can’t push back on this because it will be used against them in recruiting. The money and dedication varies way too much across the 100 or so schools that sort of try. The NFL has unions, contracts, salary caps, free agency rules etc. You will never make the math work even close to equally when Tulane competes with Oregon. I kind of still care what happens to these mercenaries due to pure nostalgia, but I can feel that quickly fading.

Hughes was 7th string. Limar didn't take his job. Dude didn't even travel to Penn State. They're totally different players. Hughes doesn't bring anything better than anyone else. They have Limar as the 3 down jack of all trades (he sucks btw), Davison for ironhead shit, Hill for gadgets, Whittington for being a better Limar. It was a fuck up to take him in the first place, the only one Oregon has had.

The response will come from a collective. The NCAA probably needs a Kennesaw Mountain Landis type to take control and set a working protocol
-
Thanks Taft!
-
The thing is - TV ratings are up considerably and fans like the changes so far. Everyone has a shot now
Back in the day of unlimited scholarships a few teams could buy all the players. First came 105, then 95 and finally 85 scholarship limit. UW benefitted from 95. Oregon from 85
Now its free agency. Regulation always favors the rich and big as it would again in college football
-
Davis?
-
The collective will still be considered the University though by the players and agents. All it’s gonna take is one bad deal where a player doesn’t get paid or gets sued and the agent will steer players elsewhere on the front end.
-
Paying players without a draft system or union is fucked. Just make the move and make the NFL Lite league already with 30ish teams with a union and draft.
-
Unfettered capitalism. College football is the last frontier. Keep it
-
All roads lead to the super conference and collective bargaining. As long as there are irrational actors out there like Oregon, Texas AM, Miami, etc that are fine with lighting money on fire that distorts the market, this has almost no chance of improving. It’s basically the LIV golf problem.
-
Tell the kids to play for free or go play in Australia
I would have just as much fun watching the next guy play
Bring back coffee cups
-
The fact he couldn't make top 4 in our rb room is hard to understand.
Whittington is fearless but he's no sure #1 rb.
Limar hesitates way too often and just doesn't have an "it" factor for me, at least yet.
Hill has breakaway speed and might be our #1 next year
Davison is a short-yardage Hammer.
Harris is a respectable backup who will use up eligibility this season, I believe.
Hughes couldn't beat out a couple of these guys for carries?
What's worse, is Naeem Offord is his brother and likely will transfer when Hughes leaves.
Sigh
-
I'm guessing the Tulane RB's agent and some well funded school that's desperate for a RB right now are on the phone with the NCAA explaining why this guy deserves to transfer somewhere immediately and get another payday.

Every day we grow closer to fantasy football
