It’s actually hilarious. The new transfer rules make it difficult. I guess they had it coming since they used to hold all the cards.
The transfer rules suck and NIL are ruining college football. College athletics is a choice and athletes always have the option to not participate in it.
This is true but now they have options on where they want to play. The coaches still have control if they band together and agree to not offer a player off of the transfer portal. I actually agree with you I don’t like it but times have changed and they will continue to change and there is nothing you or I can do about it.
Corey, that is called collusion. If it isn't illegal now in the college ranks, you can bet it soon will be.
How do you feel its ruining college football? I think it will have more parity similar to March Madness this year.
I know it is but it would never happen. It would be very difficult to prove anyway. My point is it’s here to stay and no going back now.
Because half of the scholarship kids would pay barely anything to go to most of these state schools anyway. And is the ROE for a bachelor's degree the same as it was 20 years ago?
Must coaches are penalized for taking new jobs in the form of a buy out players have no penalty with the immediate eligibility being granted.
How are they "forced" into the portal? Their scholarships remain good regardless of whether they start, get minutes, or if the coaching staff that recruited them is fired or moves on. As long as they stay eligible academically, they don't have to leave.
Coaches do very strange things to kids they don’t want and a scholarship is year to year. Try speaking with a majority of the kids in the portal and you will learn a lot.
He earns more what’s your point? Many coaches don’t get schools to pay their buyout when they move.
The problem is too many college athletes wouldn’t be in college if it wasn’t for athletics so they only see it as an opportunity to play pro ball and miss the real value of their scholarship which is the alumni network that is dying to give you a job you would have never been considered for without being a football player. I know multiple guys that were fringe role players in D1 that after college got hooked up with fantastic jobs, they are now cashing in at 45 on something that they earned when they were 18.
Another great example of understanding the big picture!! Commitment to a program and a school typically will have far greater benefits over time than the great chase will.
My point is that your violin is playing for a guy who is making an astronomical amount of money. Coaches have historically left recruiting classes for better jobs. It wasn’t too long ago that a player who transferred had to sit out a year. Brian Kelly was on the recruitment trail the day after he inked his big money contract. Meanwhile, the student athletes always get discussed differently when they move to a new school.
Coaches and players are different basically you have a CEO and an hourly employee there is no business that treats them the some nor should they since one has a much higher overall value.
Would you say Ed Orgeron was more valuable than Joe Burrow to LSU when they won the national championship?
Yes, he identified him and convinced him to go to LSU, he then went out and hired Joe Brady to run the offense that played to his skills. Everyone missed on Joe Burrow he wasn’t some huge recruit leaving Ohio State the only other school that wanted him was Cincinnati and he was planning to go there but LSU took a chance on him when most people thought he was a reach.
