2026 Portal QBs

Why was Jake Retzlaff able to transfer and play without putting his name in the portal?
Again, very unique circumstances. If I remember correctly, he was likely facing suspension or expulsion, and BYU clearly didn’t care if he left, since he wasn't going to play. He was a relatively low‑profile player with no aggrieved party.

If we were to portal in someone like Austin Simmons from Missouri in March, it would be headline news, Missouri would pitch a legendary fit, Sankey would be pounding the table, and the NCAA would be forced to act. They’d almost certainly rule him ineligible, or else the entire system falls apart.

I doubt UM wants to be the boogeyman in that scenario. It would actually give the NCAA a sympathetic case to prosecute and use to set precedent.
 
This right here. We're getting 20M for this playoff run and IU gets.....$2-3M.

All in all, we're getting as much as IU is even if you factored in the B10 TV deal.
Pretty sure the tally is around $36-38M when factoring in travel expense budgets, being ranked in the top 15, etc etc.
 
You're taking too much away from the Lucas situation.

Xavier Lucas unenrolled and then re‑enrolled at Miami only because Wisconsin refused to process his paperwork and enter him into the portal.

But if a player unenrolls and then enrolls somewhere else outside the portal window, I’d fully expect the NCAA to rule them ineligible. The NCAA let Lucas slide and permitted him to enroll at Miami because, technically, Wisconsin should have enrolled him in the portal. Attempting to transfer outside the portal window would be entirely different.
Conrad Hussey beat up a FSU coach and was playing for Oregon State like 3 weeks later man, that **** dead

I think the ncaa didn’t do anything because they would lose in court. If a kid who does cross country, wants to transfer to a different school (without using the portal), and run cross country at his new school. I don’t think there’s anything the ncaa can legally do.

The NCAA will absolutely rule any top-flight QB that tries to transfer in March ineligible. You're right, that decision might be challenged in court, and it may very well go our way, but it also might not.

I'm telling you, I highly, highly, highly doubt UM is going to want to get caught up in that. Beyond just being sued, the ACC could also decide to sanction us for that conduct.

If you think the portal is dead, you're not paying attention. There's a reason 99.9999 percent of transfers happen through the portal and almost none happen outside of it. It's the reason I'm telling you.

No they wouldn't. They admitted as much when they said there was nothing stopping Lucas from leaving Wisconsin and enrolling at Miami.

There may be legal ramifications wrt breaking RevShare NIL contracts, but that isn't a matter for the NCAA. They happily have no authority over NIL disputes. That's for the CSC (RevShare) and NILGo (3rd party) to figure out.

The Lucas situation is very different. This isn't about NIL, this would be about abiding by the NCAA's own transfer rules.

I guarantee you that unless there are extreme circumstances (dismissal from the team, etc.), no player will be transferring this spring.
 
dam call out the Gables Fire Dept, there’s a lot of smoke. Now I never ever claimed to be an insider. Ok I had connections 20 years back. But even then no one knew anything. It was always coming from Charlie the Snake who knew Jose girlfriends who slept with a few players . They all smoked dope… and there is the smoke. Where in the **** is someone leaking that Mario would fire that person on the spot… just saying…
