NCAA How about starting portal season after THE SEASON is over......
- Thread starter Statelinecock
- Start date
After signing day AND the national championship game would be ideal.
Transfers don’t bother me as much as quitters (Smith, Rush, Pickens, Wonnum, Kenion).
Not ideal for coaches. How do you go through signing day not knowing what you need based on transfers?
Time to get some sanity going on with this. I've already said, kids aren't entitled to convenience getting to their next school's spring practice. Let them show up in the summer and practice in the fall.
We need some high level discussions and decisions from the stake holders in the sport/business/educational/legal/TV conglomerates (I'm talking to you ESPN), NCAA aspects of what's unfolding in college sports. They, in turn, need to gather information across a wider spectrum to develop some kind of logical. consistent way to slow the fast acceleration of several simultaneous changes.
Too many things happening at the same time. Can't be solved or improved in one silo. I'm a little concerned about CFB particularly.

There.
High schools athletes willingly sign college scholarship agreements and the NFL requires three years of college.
What a winning deal for the NFL.
Seems to me the NFL should be footing the bill for this bartering arrangement we now mistakenly call college football instead of Minor League Professional Football.
Ideally, the NFL should start their own farm system and sign 18 year old's straight out of high school and develop them to the NFL themselves. The NFL's control over college football is insane and needs to be changed.

Not true. False.
A 30 year old 400lb truck driver *CAN* make an NFL roster and be a part of the team and even get paid. No college required. I promise. Add "to enter the draft" - and you're correct. The key is "to be able to enter the draft."
But 3 years of college is not required at all to play in the NFL.
But you can’t go from
High school to NFL. So either you must go to college, or go get a job after high school and somehow try to stay relevant enough to be drafted, which is impossible unless you are involved in some sort of sport and are a world class athlete. Even then it would be virtually impossible to be a high draft pick. So in essence you must go to college for 3 years to be drafted into the NFL.

It's not a right. They still have every opportunity to be installed by the following fall camp.
Don’t we have to protect the games? If we don’t protect games, what’s the purpose of players and recruiting? Not to mention there is a signing day in February as well. I think the late portal is a great idea. Kids still get to transfer. NCAA has to do something to protect the game.
Have a portal period following signing day. That way you can replace what you lose. Two week period starting the day after National Championship game.
There's no way to have the portal operate as it currently does with their being chaos, no matter when it opens/closes.
While there is no minimum age for professional football players, the NFL mandates that you must be out of high school for at least three years before you are eligible to play. If you graduate at 17 years old, that means you must wait until you are 20 to enter the NFL draft.
So, they either play 3 yrs of college football or go into irrelevance for 3 yrs and hope/pray for a miracle.
Only 1.6% of college athletes go pro and the number of NFL players who never went to college is minuscule compared to the 1.6% who did attend college.
So, although not required, if you want to go to the NFL, you go to college!
Ideally, the NFL should start their own farm system and sign 18 year old's straight out of high school and develop them to the NFL themselves or pay colleges to run this system. The NFL's control over college football is insane and needs to be changed or the institutions compensated.
Never said it was a right….I hate it…..but the inmates are running the asylum now. Just saying the gutless ncaa likely won’t be trying to force anything.
They need to pare a bunch of bowls from the schedule then - like most of them.
Defer the chaos. One non-sitting transfer and a window after the entire season is over would do that. That alone would be beneficial.
Do away with the early signing period. Signing day goes back to February. Transfers can take place after the bowl season, giving some time for coaching staffs to adjust to the revised roster.
You do understand that it is generally the P-5 schools fighting against any strenghthening of the rules and the investigative powers by the NCAA. I am sure the smaller schools are laughing at all the chaos right now.
I don't think going back is the right answer but I think they should meet in the middle. I think transferring one time should be allowed for specific instances such as.
Head coaching changes
Position coaching change
In addition to the old rules such as grad transfers.
Everything outside of this you sit a year.
Let's be honest, most players go to a school because of the coaches. If they can up and leave...
Correct… there are many stories behind the overall issues. As far as the portal….it may benefit us picking up disgruntled players from other schools. Sure helped us this year.
I think you have enlarged upon - and improved - an already good idea.
Transfer can take place after the FBS national championship game of a true playoff, i.e., 16-team tournament.
Keep things simple...you can hit the portal once in your college career. And then you have to sit out the following year...NO exceptions. Your coach quit or got fired...take off but prepare to sit a year. By sitting a year, teams might be less likely to offer a scholarship knowing they have to burn a scholarship spot the next season for a player they can't use.
Coaches have a pretty good idea on who's leaving especially the ones they have encouraged to leave. They have interviews with each player on the roster at the end of the season besides if a recruit is a blue chip you're gonna sign him regardless.
Beamer has no idea Bell and Lloyd were leaving. Probably our two biggest losses.
