NIL and transfer portal have completely bolluxed up CFB.
Unsustainable model.
Buyout clauses would slow the portal down a bit.
“Guys, go out there and play hard, but don’t play well.”
Oh, I don't know, what worked for 100 years... free tuition, free books, free room and board.
Sounds pretty dumb. Much better ways to handle this concern. Thank god we didn’t hire this guy.
But we’ve still got dozens here who would take him over JF in a heartbeat.
Terrible idea as the portal is gonna be open anyway. Why not keep the level of fan engagement up and promote your program? If you’re gonna lose guys, you were gonna lose them before the game anyhow. Maybe just don’t play those guys.

Yeah, this seems silly to me. If your plan to keep players is to hide them, good luck. Also, I would think the spring game is a great opportunity to raise money, NIL and otherwise. Seems the trade-off will weigh the wrong direction.
