I think the bigger issue is what we're seeing with transfers + NIL. It puts good programs (with less money) at a distinct disadvantage. Thinking mainly of Jordan Addison situation right now with tampering; we probably have done it, too. I think that's what people don't like as much. Not sure how you fix that other than going back to sitting out a year, but I don't think you can unring that bell.
This may be the best option to minimize the yearly changes with teams.
That isn’t how an NIL deal works. Technically, you don’t have be in someone’s school to have a deal. It’s not the school hiring the players. As long as you’re contracted by the company and adhering to their requests, you’re technically good. However, you can’t do that if you’re leaving town.You wouldn't delay a more lucrative job offer just because your current employer thinks it's a bad idea. We need to stop suggesting things we wouldn't do ourselves.
There's really no answer to slow it down because the whole purpose of opening things up was to give everyone freedom... The only way to go a different direction is giving power back to the NCAA (Emmert and such) and watch things go right back to where it was before... The door has been blown wide open... there's no going back now...That isn’t how an NIL deal works. Technically, you don’t have be in someone’s school to have a deal.

On the other hand, you have slow down these transfers. Something will have to give.
Ncaa could go back to the old rule of sitting down a year if you transfer. That isn’t stopping anyone from still signing a NIL deal and profiting on your brand.There's really no answer to slow it down because the whole purpose of opening things up was to give everyone freedom...

This is a full scale business .... It's no longer about scholar/athletes .... Sure some will hopefully get a education in the process but it's all about cash now...
That's kinda my point though... Now that the door has been opened it's not getting closed again... It'll be a ugly legal battle if they try to take that away from players now... Too much went into getting it changed in the first place....Ncaa could go back to the old rule of sitting down a year if you transfer.

Thats kinda whats missing in this whole transfer spectrum. A lot of these kids obviously transfer with their eyes set on money, but not just from a NIL deal, but also from a draft perspective.In terms of the transfer portal, it is what it is. No one said anything when GT lost its best player to Bama? So why is it shocking now when Addison wants to leave? Cause Pitt thinks they have a shot at winning any championship with him? Those chances left with Pickett! Addison is a first round pick rn. So lets say he stays and Slovis is *** and Addisons numbers and the teams performance slips. Addison is now a 2-3 rounder. So which one of yall or which Pitt fan is gonna be crying for HIM when all these circumstances ***** his money or his dreams up? If a kid wants to transfer to better himself individually...let him transfer. Cause if there is anyone in here who says they wouldn't change situations given the opportunity to better themselves...im calling you a got dayum liar!
Playing devil’s advocate… what if you build a collective like a stock index with business owners from one school? Would that be legal?The only thing that needs to be regulated or capped or watched or worried about or whatever are these so called "collectives". John Ruiz covered all this last night ad nauseam in the #CanesUnfiltered space. He's a lawyer as well as a businessman, so you can take whoever you want up against him to court and he's gonna be clean cause he legitimately pays these kids for their NIL services. A collective on the other hand, if you took them to court, what is their intent? And when it gets down to it, collectives are pay to play when you look at their actual intent and that's illegal. If yall missed Ruiz last night in the space, im sorry. I personally was on the fence with all this sh*t but after hearing the man talk for over an hour about NIL I fully support Ruiz. And the reason he's so boisterous and outspoken imo is because he knows he's all the way legit and there aren't many NIL programs or especially these "collectives" that are. I think we are one of the few if not the only school in the country that has an actually legit NIL program offered within our area....now, read that last sentence again until it makes sense.
It all goes back to intent. What are they paying for? If the players are working to promote their businesses and the businesses see ROI then they will have a leg to stand on. But if its just pay a kid to make an appearance and do this and that then its just pay to play. Not saying that isn't gonna happen cause it will but if its taken to court it would get dismantled. According to Ruiz, these collectives are the easiest case to win. Said he would mop the floor with them legallyPlaying devil’s advocate… what if you build a collective like a stock index with business owners from one school? Would that be legal?
I don’t think the rule is that difficult to reinstall.That's kinda my point though... Now that the door has been opened it's not getting closed again... It'll be a ugly legal battle if they try to take that away from players now... Too much went into getting it changed in the first place....
I respectfully disagree.... No one will give up Free Agency... It's here to stay...I don’t think the rule is that difficult to reinstall.

But it’s literally always been this way.That was the initial thinking when it started but now there are kids who are saying they won't play unless they get paid more, talks of bidding wars, transferring for money. Seems like it's getting out of control.
There has got to be a better way to do this then the person with the deepest pockets wins.
Keep in mind, I'm all for ruiz, love the guy for what he's doing. I hope we work the system for all it is currently.
