Simplest way to fix the transfer portal problem

The logic behind allowing players unrestricted transfers has always been that their coaches leave all the time but the player is stuck. Instead of creating chaos with unlimited free agency, the NCAA should have done the more logical thing and copied the NFL model on head coaching contracts. Sign a 5 year contract and the coach is stuck at that school for 5 years unless the school releases them. No more Jimmy Sexton getting average coaches huge raises every year with threats of leaving. And if coaches are bound to their contracts, we can morally go back to making players at least sit out a year if they want to break their commitments.

Do you have a 5 year contract at your job and are stuck there for 5 years?

NCAA already has antitrust trouble. This wouldn’t help.

It’s simpler than that.
Allow players to transfer but they have to sit a year, but it doesn’t count against eligibility and it does immediately count against receiving schools scholly limit.
You aren’t punishing the kids as they still retain eligibility but you disincentivize this transfer craze.

If the portal were justified by coaching changes, then perhaps the "unrestricted" portal should only be OPENED by coaching changes.
Under the old system, you had to sit-out a year if you transferred. Maybe if you transfer (other than due to a coaching change), we go back to sitting out for a year.
The portal lessens my enjoyment of the game, personally. Harder to get excited for my team, if I don't even know who will be wearing the team jersey this week.

The portal isn't the problem. It's the portal plus NIL that is the problem.

The NCAA regulates practically everything in the sport except how coaches are paid and change jobs. If the NCAA has the power to ban a coach from coaching at an NCAA school, they have the power to limit when or how they can change jobs within NCAA member institutions. They just choose not to.

having a portal isn't the issue. It's being able to transfer without penalty. Adding NIL to the mix made it a complete shitshow. The portal wasn't creating this when it was only the portal in 2018 with all the other rules still in place. It just made it easier for a player to make it known he was transferring to keep everything above board with tampering. Once NIL became permissible, they didn't need to make their COVID "transfer without sitting out" rules permanent. That was always supposed to be temporary to address unprecedented situations across all divisions of NCAA sports. Teams/conferences/entire divisions were cancelling or threatening to cancel seasons, and athletes were rightfully accommodated by not having their eligibility stripped away from them over a pandemic. It was a huge oversight to make that permanent and has created what's happening now.

Looks like NIL is here to stay based on court rulings so the portal needs to be constrained to get the situation under control. Of course look for a lawsuit related to the port constraints if that happens.
I think we are basically stuck with a semi-pro league that is going to further deteriorate college sports.

SCOTUS fricked the entire sport up (and the country).

It is a broken system, and a 100% pro-player environment. With the Supreme Court ruling, people will challenge any rules the NCAA tries to implement.

Only every other sport where athletes get paid, they are required to stay there for the length of the contract. No other sport has unrestricted free agency every year.
Unfortunately, the cat is out of the bag. It’s time to stop pretending like these aren’t paid professional athletes.

Yeah but ncaa can put any restrictions they want on transfers
Nil is what they have no control over
It was better when players were being paid under table with transfer restrictions because you prevented tampering with players on another teams roster
You’ve also incentivized the cheaters like freeze back in the game and all the hoops coaches in fbi scandal are back as well like one that went from Arizona to Xavier

Either its pro sports ... where a club can buy the "rights" to a player who willingly sells those rights in return for cash ... or it's high-stakes amateur sports ... where everyone is participating of their own free will and nobody owns anybody.
You have to pick. If it's amateur - then of course those playing for free can come and go as they wish. If it's pro ? Then the price for "owning" the rights to said ball player is going to have to be paid. And that price will be mighty steep in many cases, when a college football team generates $100 million in revenue.
You have to pick. Is college just semi-pro, or not ?

frick all of you who want to limit the opportunities for young people to capitalize on rare (but fleeting) talent and get in the best situation for themselves just because you liked it better when they were all poor and at least had the appearance of giving a frick about your school.
If Johnny Five Star can get a million dollars by going to Texas, don’t blame Johnny Five Star. Blame adults who care way too much about college football.

Headed for a power 5 split
Teams that want to play and teams that want to pay

It isn't about limiting the opportunities for young people. It's about saving the sport that gives them that opportunity. NIL and transfer rules as they currently exist will end college athletics.

Adults who care too much about college football are why Johnny five star can make millions playing it.
