I recommend you accept the changes in CFB. Does it kinda suck? Yes. But this is the new reality and continuing to hate on players for leaving for more money isn’t helpful. I mean would you leave your job if another company offered you substantially more?

I hate it, but it’s reality. You’d be better off direction your bitterness at TV execs, conference commissioners, and university presidents.

You make some good thought provoking points. But don’t underestimate what a great football program does for the perception of a University. The University of Utah has benefitted massively from being great at football and being in the Pac-12. An interesting read is looking into how Alabama’s recent run of football dominance completely changed the academics and admissions of the school. They are getting higher quality of students from more states and countries applying because the perception of the school has vastly improved.

A lot drop down levels, like go D2 or NAIA. I was talking to a baseball coach at a local D2 school, he said one thing that sucks for new high school graduate is there are so many fewer opportunities to get on a team in college because the transfer portal allows them to get players from D1 who are more ready now. I assume it’s the same for football.

Here’s what you all need to understand. Any attempt to regulate NIL or limit what players can get paid will be shot down by the courts unless agreed to by the players. Thus the only way what you want gets done, and I agree it should, is if the players are able to somehow collective bargain. They will need to essentially unionize and negotiate with the NCAA and conferences.

Looks like we got a real QB competition, thank goodness.

[AlohaUte]

Yes! These are the transfers that get me stoked. Bolster the trenches baby!

Just remember, the portal goes both ways. Yes we lost some talent, nut there is plenty of talent from other schools that are transferring too.

The portal takes and it gives. If you only focus on it’s takes, you’ll be miserable.

Also it’s the new normal and we’ll lose people every season. And so will every team. So don’t lose any sleep over it.

[AlohaUte]

Maybe he just wasn’t a good coach?

[AlohaUte]

I hate to break it to you buddy, but this is the new normal in CFB. Each year is going to be a crap shoot with a flood of people leaving and a flood of people coming in.

The teams that will find success will be those that are able to find the best real talent and get the teams to mold in time.

Keep in mind, generally, NIL isn’t funded by the school
