NCAA rule tweaks to stop the madness - IMHO

[BetaLiberalCock1]

As others have said, close the Portal until after *ALL* bowl games are complete. Bring back 1/2 the "penalty" for transferring. If you enter the portal and want to go play for another team, fine... but... the 1/2 penalty is instead of the old rule of having to sit a whole season, you have to sit the first 6 games.

RE: sitting the bowl game to protect yourself, the NFL + NCAA need to come together and say "Ok, you can do that, but if you do, you *CANNOT* be drafted until the 3rd round begins.

In other words, if you quit on your team, you lose all credibility to be drafted in the first 2 rounds. - Seems fair to me. A balanced blend of the old school rules + new rules.

Ok, so keeping the portal closed until after the post season is a good idea.

1/2 season rule is meh, but ok. It would need to either be the old rules reinstated OR u must stay at ur current school for 2 years before transferring unless you are changing levels from d2 to d1 or fcs to fbs, are willing to sit out, or if you are a graduate student.

The draft thing, just no. This is strictly business and you can't force someone to risk their future over a technically meaningless game. Play the young guys and consider it a pre spring mini camp and game.

Now this is negotiation. At least you see where I'm coming from and conceded the 1/2 season sit out rule. - I do like your idea of staying at current school for 2 years before portal is open to you > BUT, I still want them to pay the 1/2 season no play penalty when they arrive at the new school. (You are 100% right about moving from one division to another btw. Totally agree. Different rules there)

The draft thing: -- How bout this? : (Fair enough on your point) - You quit on your team and sit the bowl game, you can still be drafter #1 overall *BUT* --- the penalty there is - you don't get #1 draft money until your 3rd season in the league. Your first two years in the league = Minimum salary + incentive bonuses at seasons end only...... ???

We're making progress - let's keep hammering this out and send it in to the NCAA.

The NFL could give a care about the NCAA - They already have their Minor League and its not costing them anything.

Regulate NIL.

They can do what they want but they better hope college football fans don't lose interest.

Regulate NIL.

Would be really nice if it could be capped in some sort of way. I'm all for closing the portal until after the season or at least until the start of the next year.
