Big case today- athlete eligibility - Pavia vs NCAA

You are half right.

NIL is not the issue. NIL allows other teams to compete, compensates players, and spreads out the talent.

The portal is the issue. An unregulated portal let's it get out of control with tampering, constant blackmailing of coaches, skyrocketing numbers, and zero loyalty. If you put controls on the portal and require a minimum 2-years at a single school, it calms down the wild west. I'm hoping getting rid of the spring portal will help considerably. These kids bouncing each semester is just not good for anyone involved and I'd say those who do have a pretty bad track record of success.

NIL and the portal have killed college football. You say portal.

Coaches play the players getting paid. It’s political. Experience.

Has players getting paid in the NFL ruined the NFL? Because they have things called contract terms, they can't just leave when they're not happy. Now, they can hold out and make a scene, but in the end they're under contract and it keeps order for the most part.

And I disagree that coaches are just playing the highest paid players. First of all, they're all being paid now. Second, how many blue-chips bail after a year because they don't get the playing time they expected as a freshman? Not just in Miami, but everywhere. Just like in the NFL draft, talent is based acquired on potential. When guys bust they bust. Way too many examples of highly-paid recruits who can't see the field because they just aren't getting it. I think there's a much stronger argument that seniority has played a bigger part in who is played rather than paychecks.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree on this. I personally don't think it's a coincidence that, as soon as NIL found its footing, there are suddenly a lot more teams in the hunt and no super teams clearly dominating.

With all due respect I don’t understand. You disagree with first hand experience? I am living it. I have had conversations with those in charge of NIL at a major university…

My favorite after a game was the first two players were getting paid the third stringer who was better and moved the team was not. Now that still doesn’t include first hand experience.

There were a lot more teams in the hunt when they expanded to 12 teams is what you mean. Look at the rankings I posted…we now have super teams. It’s killing the game.

Also…using NFL is foolish because people loved NCAA football because it wasn’t the NFL.

We can disagree. Need to shut transfer portal down or limit it to once a year and once in your 5 years choose wisely.

Same teams so this parity crap is just made up.

In 2020 the top 15 included…

8. Cincy
9. Iowa State
10. Northwestern
14 Coastal Carolina
15 Louisiana
17 Liberty
23 Ball State
24 San Jose State
25 Buffalo
Appalachian State (NR but next up.)
Tulsa
Army
Oregon

It has done the opposite. You now have a super league of those with money. Smaller schools may be good for a year but then their players ARE being poached.

Let’s see how the final four shake out over the next five years.

I can agree on portal changes. Two-year commitments seem reasonable to me (or you sit for a year like it used to be). I'm not against one-time transfer but it won't ever fly because of coaching movement.
