Who ultimately made the nuclear decision to open the portal and NIL?

Why would you open a box you know you can’t put back. When was the moment the Nuke was dropped on college football?

You start a lot of dumbass threads.
Just thought I'd let you know.

They still have the SEC refs to “help” them out at crucial times in the games, though.

The Supreme Court ruled that this is America and that it is un-American to keep people from profiting from their own NIL while others are making bank from it. The schools nor the NCAA have a choice in the matter.
As for the portal, why may an art history major transfer from one school to another without penalty, but an athlete may not? Once again, this is America.

SEC officiating bias was actually a topic that was discussed in the CFP process according the fact finding questionnaires sent out by Florida State.
Sankey can't ignore this much longer because there is simply too much conference revenue money at stake.

It started when that irrelevant arse quarterbacks lawsuit made ea sports stop making ncaa football. It's not that the athletes don't deserve to make money off their name, it's that people will be able to openly pay for play. If I pay nico iamaleava 10 million dollars to wear a themicah86's donut shop for one minute that's technically legal. Whoever paid whatever money to get quinn ewers to Ohio state had to eat a huge loss. These kids aren't as great as they think and eventually that will come around. Hundred dollar handshakes people can live with a lack of return on investment. Even billionaires don't like wasting millions.

The portal was an NCAA idea in 2019 to make transferring an easier process, the unlimited use of it came with COVID.

It's a myth. The narrative had to change once the disproportionate penalty evidence revealed itself. That was about when the UM holding penalty chart came out that showed Bama as a significant outlier on the receiving end of penalties.
The problem lies in the self-serving bias we watch games with. Bad calls or missed calls always seem disproportionately bad for one's own team, particularly in a loss.
Bama has won more big games and rivalry matches than they've lost under Saban so that bias has naturally grown stronger.
If it were true, I imagine Williams is granted possession and 1st and Goal Bama from the 2 in the Game of the Century Part 1 with LSU.

I was on a full tuition academic scholarship and could’ve left at any time I wanted to. They would’ve invested two or four or six semesters in me, and I could’ve just walked away. Hell, even after graduation they certainly haven’t made what they invested in me.
Athletic scholarships are one year deals. Players get processed all the time, despite having given their all to a program.
I don’t particularly like NIL paired with the transfer portal Because it leads to the purchasing of players, but the idea that a school can cut a player yet a player can’t leave a school seems pretty darn un-American to me.

again, the art student is the catalyst that allows your precious athletes to even exist at a public university. he can damn well go where he pleases because he paid the penalty in the form of tuition, parking fees, and other various costs - many of which go directly to the athlete and his lavish college lifestyle experience.
the athlete paid nothing. therefore, contrary to your argument, he should have to pay the piper if he leaves the school that the art student funded during his stay.
so congratulations, you played yourself.
some of you sports nuts are just not the sharpest tools in the shed.

I'd be fine with that.
A complete ban on public funding of any costs associated with athletics should go along with it. Let them all pay their own way, including building the stadiums.

If they pay for it all, then give them all the profits. No more giving $10M a year back to fund academics.

Okay.
If the public/university is going to fund it, every penny of profit should be used to operate the institution rather than being an untaxed business.
