You can laugh but that is how a lot of the younger generation thinks.
We had a poster on our board who called Stetson Bennett garbage because he would never play in the NFL. When called on that he doubled down and continues to make that his central point.

Which part of his post can we find the punchline?
Was his post laughable? Absolutely.
Joking? No. He took an opportunity to try to troll Georgia.

The SEC would never do this because you'd just incentivise the players to go to other conferences.
Need to think of a carrot to give for staying and not the stick for transferring.

We've had players transfer to almost every divisional rival. It's like they don't really care which team they play for anymore.
I don’t blame anyone for transferring out of Michigan. I don’t understand why anyone would want to live there.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’d like to see to fix a lot of the issues in CFB
1. Have to separate power 5 from group of 5,
2. Create a realistic amount that each college in the power five can reasonably afford to pay each player on the 85 man roster.
3. NIL is fine but is left to each individual player to create those opportunities for themselves as long as it is not tied to a booster of their university.
4. I think with there being fewer teams that are on the have not side of things you can reasonably expand playoffs and should be able to create competitive matchups.
5. No intraconference transfers without sitting one year. If you transfer to different conference then you can be immediately eligible.
There would also need to be some weeding out of smaller universities who are currently power five who cannot afford to pay players.
Maybe not the best thread to post this in but I didn’t want to create a thread for my personal thoughts.

Coaches come and go for the bigger better deal all the time. Hell, most of us would jump ship if someone offered to hire us away from where we work for more money. Thanks to spectacularly bad decisions by the NCAA (which could have nipped all of this in the bud years ago with a few compromises) this is what we have now.
Most of the kids entering the portal are doing so for the same reason they would transfer back in the day though. They don't like their coaches, they are homesick, or they just aren't getting the playing time they would like. The difference is back then transferring (except in certain special situations) was a tremendous pain in the behind for an athlete. Now it is easy peasy.
If we had these transfer rules in place in the 70s and 80s we would see the same thing happening then that we do now.

There are clear reasons we don't have to worry about that. You don't worry about our footprint to talent, fam. We'll be just fine.

Absolutely. But, coaches are tied to contracts. If they break that contract by leaving early, there is a penalty to be paid in the form of a buyout.
There is a clear difference there.
People act like coaches just come and go as they please, but they don't. There are penalties that much be paid by someone (coach, school) if they leave. There are no penalties for a player leaving at the moment.
If there were no contracts and buyouts for coaches you would see a whole lot more movements among coaches, too.

Congrats you get it!!!
It no longer has anything to do with the color of that jersey they wear for they all are Green for money that will be made in the NFL.
It's taken a long time but we're finally at the fork in the road.
Yogi Berra famously said, “when there is a fork in the road — take it.”

I'm laughing because no one even considers for a moment that players would ever consider where they want to go to college first and foremost.
Whether they're using NFL or NIL money as their reason for picking a SCHOOL is equally absurd.

We fans are loyal to the team. Often times the players of said team - as much as we want them to be loyal they aren’t. They know at max they will be with a school 3/4 years and if the coach doesn’t kiss their arse or guarantee they x number of targets then they will just transfer out. You almost have to re recruit half your damn roster year after year and it has nothing to do with winning. So the haves will just cherry pick the best players from the have nots each year while dealing with their own roster attrition. The sport has honestly went stale.

Last year a ton of these transfer dude did not find a home, many had to take a place on a roster at a university no one ever heard of.
Now that was LAST year. The number of guys who have entered the portal this year is more than TWICE as many as last year. There are simply nowhere near enough spots open for them to land. Gonna be a lot of guys pissed off.
I often wonder what happens to the leftovers with no place to land? I guess they have to grow up fast, get a job to support themselves, etc.

It's been about the NFL since around 1965. Which isn't a bad thing. If you're great at something there's nothing wrong with wanting to get paid to do it (unless you're great at sex I guess lol)
But this portal thing is terrible for the sport. At the very least you should have to sit out a year if you transfer to a school on your current team's schedule the following season.

Yep, not the players.
This becomes painfully obvious when the fans turn on players with the quickness. So who can blame them for turning on the fans before the fans turn on them?

The NFL has free agency but there are contracts. You cannot just jump when you want, you have to become a free agent, cut, etc. This is a free for all
Why not? Other students can.
If we really believe that free markets are typically the best markets, why not allow players to freely transfer?
Overall, I think the portal has made football more efficient. Instead of having players waiting in line at some places, they've transferred to other places and started playing. If we want to see the best players play on Saturday, then that's what the portal is likely to provide.
Keep in mind that this is an evolving market. It's still pretty new. The fact that participants are making decisions a certain way right now doesn't mean they'll always make them this way. There will be some winners and losers, and future participants will take those lessons in when making their decisions.

You don't know that, he may latch on at the NFL level as a 2nd or 3rd string clipboard holding emergency QB.
And guess what?, he will make more $ in one year than you do in ten if that happens, HELL he will make more $ in NIL $ this coming season than you will in your entire adult working life, lulz, you are a frackin tool
