FC: Caleb Williams looking to transfer?

[bbb2021]

You think so, wait till the in-season transfers begin. Think I’m off base? 5 or 6 years ago who thought that the fifth year transfer portal was going to become a Wild West free for all? We knew that the NIL was going to effect the game, but to this extent so quickly? Don’t be surprised if you see sponsors logos on uniforms soon. Whose going to stop it, the empty suits at the NCAA?

"Wild West free for all" is being conservative. You're right, this **** is going to get crazy

Franklin should contact him. He is from mid Atlantic region. Offer him an NIL bag and see what happens. Season is sunk with Clifford as qb.

Experts are already saying GEORGIA unless they get outbid by another school with a better NIL DEAL. More free agency than the NFL.

At least there are rules in the NFL. This is bonkers.

At what point do you stop watching and/or caring about CFB? I’m at that point or quickly approaching it. I stopped following recruiting years ago after the Wimbush, Fields, you name them commits then decommits. Now you need to follow guys on your team leaving at the end of the year. It is exhausting and the on field product is not that good.

Fwiw, Adam Rittenberg says that Williams went to OU in the first place to maximize his NFL chances and he’s doing the same thing right now. NIL money is secondary.

I’m not able to link to specific tweets, probably because I don’t belong to Twitter, but you should be able to find what I’m talking about here.

He should announce for South Carolina, just to freak out Spencer Rattler.

Need to have a CFB Commissioner to put some guardrails around this. The idea this is anywhere near a fair landscape is laughable. And so is the product.

emmert’s got this.

I’m waiting for in-game transfers.

”One noteworthy lineup change for the 2nd half. Running back John Doe played for Penn State in the 1st half. Doe transferred to ohio state at halftime and will suit up for the buckeyes for the rest of the game.”

Lol, appreciate the precise links. I have valued Rittenberg’s analysis for a long time, but who’s to say that he himself isn’t being fed a steaming pile of crap?
