NCAA is going to have to bring back the sit out a year transfer rule

Cajunbama disagrees Ray.

Agreed. Sadly, I don’t see the NCAA doing anything but riding it til the wheels fall off.

Coaches are a bit upset that they put the transfer portal opening at the same time as the early signing period. I think the portal should simply open for a single 2 week span in the late spring or early summer. If you sign with a team, you should stay with the team through bowl season. They should also allow the high school players to finish recruitment before existing players are allowed to transfer.

100% agree, it’s the only reasonable way to not lose the entire wonderful sport

It really isn't that wonderful anymore. Players have too much power now, and lawyers are taking advantage of the situation.

If you have to ask. Maybe college football is a bit too complicated for you.
It's creating total chaos in the system.

Maybe the new paradigm is too complicated for you? Boomer?

At the moment you can only transfer once without a waiver and play immediately. Anyone transferring twice either has a waiver or is doing so as a grad transfer.

The rule should have always been one transfer without sitting out a year. This should include waivers and grad transfers too. What they have now is killing the sport.

They are giving out waivers to just about anybody that applies. Example: JT Daniels

2018-19: USC
2020-21: UGA
2022: West Virginia
2023: ???

It was too extreme. They always had to sit out a year and waivers were rare. They need to institute a single transfer rule. You shouldn't able to be like JT Daniels who is transferring for his 3rd time. He will be playing for 4 different teams over his college career. That's ridiculous.

No, it wasn't too extreme.

It's funny how people just think everything comes for free. That these players aren't getting anything for what they do. That all the education, training, support and all the money spent on them isn't real money, that the only one in this that brings any value to the table are the players.

Pretty ignorant if you ask me. It's all entitlement culture. These players are entitled to this and that.

And it's not even the top teams like Alabama that suffer from this. We'll just bring in a bunch of replacements from the portal also. It's a 2 way street.

Only what happens is what we saw this year with Gibbs. He spent 3 years at GT. They spent all that time coaching him, educating him, supporting him, etc. And when it came time for the payoff on their efforts towards him - he transfers to Alabama without penalty his final year.

Meanwhile, 95% of the transfers out of Alabama and other top schools are those who have been passed up on the depth chart and wouldn't get much playing time(outside of injury, they would only provide depth). Players which btw would have transferred out in the past as well. "Processing" isn't a new thing.

It's really just a benefit for the top teams. The more they consolidate the talent at the top, the worse it's going to be for the sport.

But hey, who cares about the things that have made college football great right? What's most important is getting the biggest TV contracts and allowing players to milk the most personal rewards possible. frick the small teams, nobody likes watching upsets anyway.
