Any player that voluntarily enters the transfer portal should be required to sit out a complete season and lose that year of eligibility.
Supreme court says you cannot make any rule that will interfere with an athlete's ability to profit off of his/her NIL.

I agree, but a lot of this has also been allowed to happen because of court decisions. I’m not sure how much the NCAA can do to limit some of the portal and NIL stuff without those new limits also getting struck down by courts. If the courts aren’t going to allow a better set of rules to govern all of this stuff, then I’m not sure what can be done other than Congress intervening (which will have its own issues given the current state of American politics).

We should have a portal for coaches. Sure, you signed a five year deal, bit if you have a monster year, in you go! And let the bidding begin.

CFB is a madhouse. It’s complete mayhem.

As long as it doesn't infringe a person's ability to engage in (generally) free commerce it does.

This is fixed instantly if they pay the players and create contracts. Then it's no different than any other form of employment where two parties agree, legally, to the conditions contained in the contract.

Tie NIL, at least partially, to bowl game participation. Problem solved.

Wait until we have a rash of players that schools are paying 7 figures but never see the NFL.

Change the window until after the bowl games and playoffs are played.

Marshall isnt really relevant to the SEC as they are only half-serious about football but let's be real, the game is a joke
Please make sure to get your end of year Collective donations in. Hiring Jackson Arnold wasn’t cheap.

I expect all proud Auburn alumni to donate handsomely to the fund right after cut their checks to St Judes, and to Red Cross.

NCAA literally has no ability to enforce anything at this point.
there is the simple fix of federal legislation giving it protection from antitrust lawsuits, or alternately dissolve it and establish a not for profit governing organization to enforce the rules and eligibility stuff. It's the money the NCAA pulls in that makes it vulnerable to the lawsuits

Nobody can name one industry that they run effectively or turned into something better. The disaster that they did to healthcare is one example. The post office, dmv suck, I wonder if they took over maintenance of McDonalds ice cream machines.

Best thing the NCAA could do is change the calendar. Open portal up on Jan. 1. Legally they cannot do much but putting a date of Jan.1 should not be considered by the courts as restrictive as they have not shut down the current portal dates.

My suggestion.

Go back to only allowing completely free transfers to players who have already graduated. For those who haven't graduated, make them sit a year (but give them a year of eligibility for that year that they sit). Players can get out of bad situations through that path, but it would avoid players jumping from program to program every year.

They can fix the window and the process.

I get that transfers are legal and a priority.

But simple changes can help a lot.

Marshall won the Sun Belt Conference, and their coach got poached by an in-conference team. Over 40 players entered the portal to follow him.


He wasn't poached. He and the Marshall admin were at odds, Marshall decided to not renew his contract, and most of the team responded by going to the portal.

Make the portal a 1 time thing or limit it to juniors and seniors.

I don't know the answer,


I do.

Let people get in the portal when the entire season is over. Simple enough. Enforce a two-year commitment except for very reasonable hardships.

Very simple.
