Interview regarding transfer restrictions
Thoughts?

"I've had conversations with a bunch of coaches who didn't ... walk out on their contracts," Baker said. "One of the things I hear from kids when I talk to them about this issue is, 'Coaches walk out on their contracts. What about us?''

People will downvote but it is true. Maybe they could make exemptions against transfers in case of retirements, but when coaches walk out on players for better opportunities and more money why wouldn't players follow their lead?

Something tells me that the idea of having to pay money to terminate a contract early would come as a huge shock to a lot of these guys. If they had to pay back 20% of the value of their NIL deals to be able to transfer without getting sued for breach of contract it might actually fix a lot of the problems.

I dont think it's complicated at all.
Saban was correct, we are moving toward players being employees of the school, and their respective deals should be contingent on a contract that binds the players to the school.
From there ironing out the details should not be hard.
Transfer if you want but in these contracts should be a noncompete meaning you're next team would be in the NFL if you decided to leave/transfer/break contract.
The faster everyone understands that we are going to a NFL model, and the faster college ball adopts everything that the NFL does minus a draft the faster everything will work much more smoothly for everyone. It is what it is. Amateur football is dead.

Seems like the fair way to go about it is if a program accepts a transfer coming in, during the dead period, that the portal should open for them too. Maybe not the full 30 days but maybe a 10-15 day window.

The start of this stuff was the beginning of the end, and everyone over the age of 20, deep down knew it. Unless they find some way to put the toothpaste back in the tube, college sports, on the level we knew, are done. There's no reason to watch a shittier version of the NFL.

The NCAA is a joke and anything they say has no real merit. I understand to some extent but the NCAA helped create many of the issues we are facing now while they stood by and watched. They no longer have a say in what is going on.

This is why the SEC and B10 have combined to discuss "like interests" or whatever.

It’s a silly comparison. One is a contracted job with a penalty for early termination and the other is a scholarship.
If you want to leave, that’s fine, but there has to be some sort of penalty. Sitting out a year was fair enough.
This endless pursuit of fairness, whether it’s with transfer/NIL or the playoffs is killing the sport.

The NCAA is on borrowed time. I don't know why anyone felt that college athletes deserved more than they were getting in the first place. If they didn't like the arrangement, they didn't have to play. Go take out a loan, put yourself through school, and hit the workforce.

My thoughts are that the players he's been talking to, don't know shite about contracts. Coaches (or the schools that hire them) pay MILLIONS to buy out those contracts early. It seems like he is disingenuously framing the argument to achieve his desired outcome.
