Look to the Transfer Portal: Discussion thread

I agree somewhat but haven’t scholarships always essentially been 1 year contracts anyway? Teams can process kids at any point and in turn kids can decide they want to leave whenever as well, full knowing their roster spot might be filled. Not sure we should get onboard with holding roster spots for kids who want to shop themselves or even worse, way overvalue themselves (or their agents do).

I don't have an answer, just find it sad, that's all. And yes, schollies were always 1 year. But movement was rare prior to 5 years ago or so.

They'll learn to not jump out there with 70 overall rating won't they.
That's what I'm thinking. The "rules" of how players, schools and agents play this is evolving as haven't had too many rounds. My guess is we'll see more "do not contact" deals where agents greased the deal and fewer rando hop in the portal
 
I get the sentiment. The trouble is that the CFB and college calendars are so jacked up, it’s almost impossible for it all to work out cleanly.

They need to eliminate championship games, as fun as they are. Everything is in service of the CFP.

They also need to get over the New Year’s Day and NYE traditions. The gaps between games make no sense anymore, and they decided long ago that tradition doesn’t matter in the sport.

The cadence of games has been absurd (Saturday, Thursday, Monday). The fact that Ohio State and IU and most bye teams had almost a month between games is absurd.

There needs to be a total overhaul to the end of the season, with all factors considered. The Frankenstein’s monster we have now gets less practical every year.
Issue with championship games has nothing to do with being fun, but all about revenue.

How frequently have we pulled a guy's scholarship when he wants to stay and both he and the team recognize he's not going to get meaningful pt?

I expect we reduce or eliminate their NIL, but I doubt we revoke their scholarship. I do not doubt other do that.
