Transfer window is a good idea. I also think a rule for only 1 transfer is a good discussion to have. Don’t know how you guys feel about that but it will make kids think long and hard about transferring…. And once you’re in the portal there’s no turning back like the young man from Georgia.
Off topic but they should also allow kids to feel out the nfl interest like college hoops does with the NBA and allow them to return if they choose
Baseball has had that for years. I don't understand the financial angle for the NCAA making kids declare for the NFL draft. As you know, in baseball, players get drafted. They don't have to do anything, then they decide if they want to leave college.
Football players can't declare until 3 years removed from high school per the NFL collective bargaining agreement.
The NCAA prohibits college baseball players from being drafted until their junior/rsh sophomore year.
So, the timeliness are essentially the same for baseball and football, but the rules are completely different.
I don't understand how anyone hasn't sued the NCAA over this. It's a double standard that really doesn't benefit the NCAA. You just wind up with players declaring for the NFL draft that should have stayed in college.
The NCAA is just colluding with the NFL. I think this is all part of the NFL not scheduling regular season games on Saturdays. College players would have more leverage for the draft and the NFL would have some wasted unsigned draft picks the same way baseball does. Similar to baseball, the NFLwould have to develop a minor league system as they wouldn’t be able to rely on signing a full draft class. Instead, they get polished players that have already made a name for themselves without the NFL putting up any money.
Quite a racquet they have going along with professional sports special Federal Tax exemption which is a whole other topic.
