Yeah we've gone from one extreme to the other. (well except those elite players that were paid under the table).

Be curious to know how the NFL feels about all this. One the one hand it makes their scouting jobs easier - they don't need to worry about predicting how a 21 year old will react when you hand him millions of dollars. On the other some players are going to have to take pay cuts to play in the NFL.

Might be better for the NFL in the long run. Maybe a fewer underclassmen declaring early. Now they can transfer to another school, earn money through NIL, and get one or more years of college experience. Of course, not elite players, but more of the late Day 3/UDFA types.

We’ll see.
 
Not sure if this would pass any legal tests, but if college football wants to avoid situations like Rhule mentioned why not change the boilerplate scholarship paperwork to limit transfers? Of course, this means you can’t players off as well. Do you want them to commit? You need to commit to them.

This idea then gets into the whole student-athlete as employee controversy. And that gets problematic for many, many reasons.

Good times.

Sure, but if you a University Miami fan (or a fan of virtually any other team) it basically destroys the sport. There's no continuity. Quality of play declines drastically. Recruiting becomes absolutely meaningless. Why get excited about a Fletcher or Bain because these are all year to year guys. A #1 class is irrelevant. Your team flips its entire roster every year. Everyone becomes Colorado.

It would be the same if all NFL or NBA players were signed to perpetual one year deals. The drafts for either sport would be meaningless. San Antonio could be thrilled about drafting Victor Wembanyama after a bad season in 2023; who cares however when the Los Angeles Lakers sign him one year later leaving the Spurs no better off.

Exactly.

It’s turning into the same thing as the Yankees buying up all the best players every offseason.
 
$1-2 million for a portal QB?

i mean NCAA created this by not setting rules on NIL.... they should have set a cap on NIL for each sport and set up compliance section and hired a lot of people in it to enforce it. instead they let it go to wild wild west and now it's too late to turn back.

pro sports have a salary cap that they have to stay within, some more leanent than others (MLB NBA with luxury tax if your over but u can go over)

NIL is literally uncapped.
 
Fascinating statement by Matt Rhule. The same Matt Rhule who used the portal to leave a $1 million a year job at Temple for a $4 million a year job at Baylor. Then portaled again to the Carolina Panthers for a $60 million contract.

Equality for thee, but not for mee.

I think he’s basically just telling Nebraska fans that they shouldn’t get their hopes up about bringing in any new QBs via the portal. Trying to temper expectations because he knows they can’t or won’t compete in this market.

Partially, but you are going to have college teams in short order fielding rosters with payrolls that are above $100M. That's not sustainable for any but a few schools. If you think competitive balance is horrendous now, wait until those four schools adapt to a model where they don't recruit high schoolers at all, but instead just sign away any top-level talent that develops on all the other teams. And they do it year after year, decade after decade.

The problem is that they can't sign every single high end guy every year, even in your doomsday scenario. So, you'll have the filter down effect and you'll always have kids that show up to a school and like it, and as long as they are getting a solid NIL deal will be happy where they are.

NCAA just needs to change the transfer rule so you have to sit 1 season. Its the only (and frankly very simple) way to control this. But whatever, if we got that NIL $$$$, lets have at it.

There's NOTHING wrong with the one free transfer. If coaches, ADs and other staff can jump from job to job without any consequence, why can't a player move on once without penalty? Once is enough, after that, you have to sit.

If you’re a good player, why wouldn’t you enter the portal? This **** is so stupid at this point, you’re almost doing yourself a disservice to not see what’s out there. It’s free agency but you can negotiate with any team at any time. Dip that toe. If I had a college athlete that was worth a ****, he’d be in the portal yesterday.

But Matty says you should stay loyal to the team that developed you and be thankful for room and board.

Meanwhile the minute he were to ever go undefeated largely due to said unpaid players Matty and his agent will be demanding that his salary be doubled or he would leave to another team that will pay him much more.
