This BS is why we have the transfer portal. Coaches started this whole deal.

NIL? That's another thing altogether, and NCAA needs to get that under control. It's not that either of them are bad, but dropping them both together, in the middle of extra COVID eligibility, was bad.

The rules for the transfer portal have actually made it now much more attractive than signing a HS recruit. Sign a guy out of the transfer portal and he is with you for the duration unless he wants to go somewhere and sit out. Waste your time recruiting and signing a HS kid and he could bolt with no penalty before you even get a chance to get him on the field (like a Teddy Knox). College football is so screwed up right now its hard to believe that adults are actually in charge. And still no hint of even considering reduction of scholarships to make the sport more competitive.

It really is, but so is basketball and baseball. At least the latter have a solid format for determining a champion. But basketball still has one and done nonsense, and baseball still has too few scholarships.

NCAA has boomer leadership. Do nothing and fight your *** off to preserve what you know (even if it's dumb), but when you get pressured so much, drop a bomb that has more unintended consequences than benefits.

At this point though, to me, the NIL is the big issue. It's got to be better regulated so you can't throw out blanket deals just because you're on a certain school's team. It's supposed to be based on an actual player's name/image/likeness, not the school's.

Early birds got this one wrong. He just played Michigan for more money. Announced last night he's going back to Michigan

Hope Michigan is happy paying that money to beat Ohio State once every six years.

I’ve heard the opposite. He really wanted the Vikings job and went into the interview assuming he had it and was very arrogant. Turned ownership off and they decided to pass.
