It's rigoddamndiculous.

First, it is borderline longer than anything I've ever posted. Which is quite a statement.

Second, it's just a bunch of crap, organized to look like an outline.

Finally, as I have posted over and over and over again, the FUNDAMENTAL problem with ALL of these restrictions is easily summarized and stated. That is, every student has the right to TRANSFER universities. Whether you are an athlete or not, you can transfer.

End of story.

No "cleverly crafted" multi-year penalty clauses in overreaching NIL deals can remove the right to transfer. And, now, no "one transfer portal window" can remove the right to transfer.

Essentially, there are three basic academic periods at most universities. Fall semester, spring semester, and summer. Regular students can transfer at the beginning of any of those times.

Then, when you look to student-athletes, it's easy to turn to NCAA v. Alston. In that case, which heavily relied on antitrust law and rationales, the Supreme Court indicated the need for a balancing test and narrowly-tailored rules if you are going to restrict student-athletes in ways that others are not limited.

In summary, the "proposed legislation" is just a backdoor method to hit back after nearly every other (non-employee-employer/collective bargaining) method to restrict student-athlete movement has failed. And, sure, now the NCAA proposes to "punish the schools and coaches" instead of "punishing the student-athletes".

I'm quite certain that the federal court system will be able to see through this paper-thin ruse.

That's it. No need for an outline. It's really very simple. Student-athletes, just like all other university students, are allowed to transfer. And no amount of NCAA pearl-clutching or sackcloth-and-ashes-lamentation will be able to justify yet another overreaching "killing a mosquito with a bazooka" effort by the toothless organization who did NOTHING about these current "problematic" issues except cry to their Daddy Congressmen to deliver a legislative approach. Which Congress is not interested in doing.

**** you, NCAA. If the NCAA enacts these "new rules", they will be struck down like ever other misguided university and/or NCAA rule has been struck down before.

Time for the obvious answer. Collective bargaining and an employer-employee relationship for compensated student-athletes. It's the only solution that will withstand judicial scrutiny.
 
The NCAA is a dead entity in reagrds to football. The conferences mostly act, both unilaterally or in concert, without the NCAA being involved. The college football playoffs is an independent organization. There will be a time in the near future when the NCAA will try and punish a member school and the conference and playoffs will tell them to kick rocks.

Yes.

People need to learn to think for themselves, or at a bare minimum, engage in conversation with other knowledgeable people.

Typing a query into Chat GPT and then deciding that the robotic regurgitation should be shared with the world is incredibly weak.

In a nutshell, this is what I see happening.

I just don’t see any way to avoid this. Whether one likes it or not, this is the actual relationship, employer/employee, that is practically in effect as we speak. Think of a student who has a “part-time” job (we know football is a full-time job) with the university. Something which is very common.

The only question is, when will this happen? My cloudy crystal ball says within 2-3 years after some kind of landmark court ruling.

Perhaps after the NCAA (and/or a member institution) loses the 1,000th consecutive court case on NIL/transferring/eligibility?
 
I wouldn’t have an issue with this IF the NCAA just allowed players to enter the transfer portal without waiting for their current university to do it for them. I guess the Wisconsins of the world could still duck around and not file the transfer paperwork to purposely delay a student athlete’s admission into their new school but the NCAA could just slap a punishment on any program who didn’t handle transfers accordingly.
