SMU coach Rhett Lashlee suggested the December portal window should be eliminated, decrying that players have to make decisions about whether to transfer or play in the College Football Playoff.

Speaking Tuesday during his news conference before a CFP first-round matchup against Penn State on Saturday, Lashlee said having an open portal window while prepping for postseason games is "terrible," while also noting the decision that Penn State backup quarterback Beau Pribula made to enter the portal.

"I feel so awful for our kids and kids around the country," Lashlee said. "There's no other sport at all that has free agency in the season. It's sad. It's terrible. You hear the story about their backup quarterback saying, 'I don't have a choice.' That's wrong. That's unacceptable. That's not OK. He shouldn't have to make that decision.'"”

Shows outward signs of indignation and outrage that such a horrible system exists, while on the inside, secretly wishing and praying that the whole dang PSU team would transfer out so as to make the game much easier for SMU to be competitive and win.

He also makes an argument about academics and kids taking finals but then says a December period makes no sense because the academic calendar ends in May... you'd think a college coach would have a better grasp on the semester based academic system.

I guess that indicates that he does not accept early enrollments for freshmen.

I'd like to see them start the season earlier and end the playoffs on Jan 1st. Portal opens Jan 2nd.
