With the transfer portal opening more and NIL do these schools have to each have a full time booster staff in place to start redistributing money if let's say an unexpected sophomore has a breakout season? Does every g5 school from this point lose their best player to a p5 contender if they are approached? If so at what point do the g5 schools just stop trying? I know this topic has been discussed a million times but just thinking about the way things work out sometimes, if a Kyle Trask type situation where a relatively unknown lower ranked recruit goes and wins the starting job early in the season and you have 2 other qbs that were much higher ranked and received lucrative NIL deals sitting on the bench do you see a scenario where the Kyle Trask of that group opts to sit out until he gets equal or more NIL money?

Who’s to say Trask doesn’t say F U and transfer somewhere else to be the big dog getting all the attention and NIL?

This will be interesting to see what this means long term.

Recruiting will always always always mean more since most players stay put to where they originally signed.

But it has to mean less to a degree with players being able to switch so easily. To what degree? I’m not sure.

In no way am I’m predicting some monster season for us but we’ve literally gone from starting a GA assistant last year to now having a 5-star, all Big 12 QB. His favorite TE also joined us.

We also nabbed Wake Forest’s leading rusher and one of NC State’s DEs who got regular playing time.

Point is, team rosters can change at a ridiculous pace now and can make potential turnarounds (in either direction) more pronounced.

Don’t really give a shite about it anymore. At least I was able to attend the SEC title and both playoff games with my dad to watch the Tigahs take home the title in the last real season of CFB ever

It will develop the worst aspects of the NFL with none of the parity built in. College football as we all grew up with it is over and I think it will take a real love or unbreakable viewing habit to stick with it beyond a very casual fanbase. It will still pull viewers and make money, but the NIL/transfer portal reality will push it well past its peak years.

At some point NIL deals will have consequences for players if they transfer out. A payback of X amount or something.

NIL with current free agency cannot work long term for 95% of the schools.

actual 'college' football looks like this going forward ... FCS



FCS long ago already figured out how to have a full season, geographically aligned conferences - and a
**now get this** ~ a 24 team playoff.

A discombobulated mess that eventually kills the sport as we know it.
