Unlimited Transfer Rule

Well, for those of you who thought the Portal was crazy, better strap up.

Man, this sucks. College football was such an awesome game. There's not much I look forward to more than the start of college football season. Just love it. It's sad to see it dying before my eyes. Yes, I know there will still be a product called "college football" but we all know it will be college football in name only.

Unionization is now an inevitability.

I've sighed about 20 times while writing this post.

Revenue sharing has the potential to be a tinder box. The only sports that generate revenue are football and men's basketball. So, legitimately, the only players that "deserve" to share in revenue are the ones who play for revenue generating sports. Try telling that to Dawn Staley.

The craziness will be relegated to the desperate. Any guy transferring multiple times won't have the skills that demand he stay at his second stop. Similarly, any school looking for a guy after he's made multiple stops has got more problems than the portal solve or generate.

Yep sad indeed. It is no longer college football no matter how they advertise it. And I see they hired a full time NIL staffer, guess that makes it official that amateur sports is gone. Gamecock sports were one of the reasons I looked forward to moving back to Columbia in the late 1990s, but I have pretty much moved on to other entertainment. Not saying I won't watch a game or two on the tube, but the days of buying tickets, going to WB and watching college football all day Saturday are gone.
The NIL movement will soon hit WBB and all college sports as "financial equality" is demanded. It's all ugly..

I've become pretty much disenfranchised anyway. As long as I get to play golf about three times a week with my buds, I don't give a crap what these schoolboys do. The adults have been dealt out.

That is pretty much how it feels. I'm surprised (or maybe more disappointed) more veteran coaches don't voice displeasure with where the game is heading. Some, like Saban, have lamented the potential loss of traditional rivalries. Shane said he didn't necessarily like NIL and such but that it was part of the game now so we might as well jump in with both feet. I suppose things are moving forward at an inexorable pace now so it doesn't matter what anyone thinks.

I suppose coaches are always recruiting. Say anything too critical of NIL or transfer rules etc and other coaches will tell recruits "Coach So and So doesn't support the NIL."

What does the word commitment mean? How about making a decision and sticking to it.

It goes both ways. "Don't worry mom and dad I'll be looking out for your son the next 4 years, I promise (*unless of course my name is mentioned as the next hottest coach on the market, then I'm gone)

I see your point but I don't think that is the majority of transfers. Mostly, its I'm not playing right away and I'm not going to work hard and try to change things.
Aren't commitments to the school and not the coach? That's what I always thought because there are many reasons a coach may not be there your entire career and should be part of your decision making process.

The typical prospect will not have that happen to him, but if a coach were to leave, grant transfer privileges with no sitting out to everyone on the roster - to be exercised within a certain time frame. Now, that would address it, wouldn't it?

Exactly rightt

Agree, fans, and many alumni, that have supported amateur athletics for years with their money and attendance have been like you said "dealt out"..

That would be fair. But if you carefully chose the right school for your commitment, a transfer would not be necessary.

I’m not really sure how a kid transferring changes the college perspective. I must fail to see the big deal. No matter what team you watch or what sport players come and go. It’s just a fact of life. Nothing has changed so drastically in football that it has turned me off. Clearly it’s not turning people off considering the ratings.

I'm not inclined to defend and/or engage in serious debate on this policy.
Just stating that expecting loyalty from one entity and not the other is never going to lead to an equitable situation.

 

[Lakemurraycock]

Ehh. I see this and NIL as leveling the field. At least to a degree with schools that have resources and a supportive fanbase. Schools like Bama won't be able to hoover up all the 5* players and keep them on the team. Players will transfer to a school they can get on the field. Schools that had bagmen to lure recruits no longer have a big advantage over schools that acted more within the rules with NIL money. This does not mean there won't be issues with some schools throwing ridiculous money. But everyone can play that game now without the toothless ncaa (at least for traditional big schools) hammering the non-traditional powers.

The solution I proposed would be perfectly equitable. I admit that coaching mobility has historically made for disparity.

By revenue sharing, I assume you mean the schools paying players. If so you are right in that it would be a tinder box or Pandora's Box but for potential much more devastating reasons than the one you mentioned.
