Random thought about a possible portal change

I'll try to not make this too long.
I think they should at least make a rule that you need to be enrolled with a school for at least 1 calendar year before entering.
Early entries could enter the following February timeframe. Those that enter school in the summer must wait until the end of their sophomore year of football (December).
Without this, you might have a 5 star player on your team for 6 months. They aren't even developed yet.
This would be very important for those lineman who can't play because they don't have the weight yet.
Do you think this would be a good change?

I think anything to slow this down would be a good change

Absolutely. Every school has had that 260lb DT that put on weight and became a dominant player in later years. That might happen at a different school now.

I would do away w/ early signing period for HS football and make December portal month. Then can have another portal season after spring practice.

Something needs to happen. Long gone are the days of watching a kid come in and grow on the team. They are basically mercenaries now. I have been really turned off to college football after 40+ years of fandom.
Now, excuse me while I go outside to tell some kids to get off my lawn and to yell at a cloud.

How does this solve a problem? just go back to requiring them to sit out a season if they transfer.

Nil is the problem
Fix that first
I really don’t have a problem with portal
If coaches can move players should be able to as well

Maybe limit it to those who started less than 10 games in the previous season so a proven started can't start of Alabama this year and play for Auburn next year?

I think scaling this would help.
Let graduates and upper classmen transfer without sitting out, but underclassmen have to sit out a year.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the portal as is. The portal is what college football needed to stop certain teams from stockpiling bluechip players. The parity in the sport is finally increasing.
I think it should be opened up more. As long as a player can still enroll in his classes he should be able to transfer whenever and wherever.

Would be awesome if CJ Stroud transferred to Michigan for the playoffs.

How would he play a fall sport at 2 different schools in the same semester? You can't play for 2 teams in the same season.

Yes, so now those schools will simply fill any needs they might have with bluechips from the portal. Trade a bench player for a needed starter. So many problems solved. And I say that as a Bama fan, who will be reaping the benefits.

Not really much you can do. It's the result of a Supreme Court decision. You can limit how and when people transfer and sit out.

So you get rid of a team player just because he's not as good as somebody else you want?

No. Alabama fans want this limited because Saban has built his brand on stockpiling talent, and they know now that Alabama is going to lose 20 players to the portal every year.
The advantage disappears when this year's second string is starting for someone else next year.
So I think it's great. Open portal was needed to level the playing field.

Classes start Jan 4. Maybe if he loses in the semis he could transfer for the national championship game since you want even more wide open transfer rules. Why are you trying to keep a young man from following his dreams?

I've been wondering if LOIs, scholarship offers, NIL deals, etc. can be packaged and structured like a legally binding contract. For instance, the player agrees to play at a school for 4-5 years and will face economic repercussions if the contract is voided.
It seems like you could structure the contracts similarly to a coach's.

I have a better thought, go back to the previous transfer rules. If you've graduated, you can transfer without penalty. If you have a legitimate hardship and are granted a waiver, you can transfer without penalty. If you don't fit into those two boxes, then you can transfer but lose a year of eligibility and have to sit out the following season.
The problem isn't so much the new transfer rules alone, it's the new transfer rules coexisting with unmitigated NIL, which creates a system where coaches are bidding to keep their own players on their rosters after already bidding to get them to sign. It also creates the impossible task of trying to prevent tampering.

I don't actually mind the early signing period with the way everything else is now. At least you'll know in December what holes you need to fill from the portal. If you got rid of early signing day and made December portal month, you'd then be scrambling to fill holes with high school kids instead of D1 players.
