Transfer portal

Curious if most college football/basketball fans think the current transfer situation needs fixing?

I do. Too many kids who attend a different school every year of their college career.

So, here's a suggestion for a new system. Doubt it would fix all the problems, but it would at least add some pain for excessive use of the new transfer rules.

First transfer - free and clear, just like now. Too many coaches lie to get kids to sign on the dotted line. I would like players to have the option to get away from a bad situation if it is the exact opposite of what they were promised. I also think kids should get a chance to move on if the coaching staff they put their trust in is shown the door.

2nd transfer - Both the team and player commit for 2 years. Gotta transfer again? Get it right this time.

3rd transfer - sit out a year before you play, like the old transfer rules.

Probably not the perfect plan, but it forces players to put more skin in the game.

I also think teams having to put up transfer fees (paid to the school the kid is leaving) to bring in new players out of the portal (kind of like Soccer clubs in Europe) would slow things down.

I would like some sort of system to reduce schools treating the Portal like some kind of farm system.

Putting some rule like no NIL deals for the first year at the new school after a transfer would also put a screeching halt to the current transfer craze.
