The problem with the transfer portal is that there is no firm, enforceable transfer rules. And every time the NCAA, a conference, or a school tries to enforce transfer rules or any other rules (ie. eligibility), it creates more legal exposure, not more order. That’s because real rules require... congressional action (the creation of new laws) OR an employment model with collective bargaining (which works within the current law). College sports has neither right now. So what you’re seeing isn’t chaos. It’s a system operating without enforcement power.show more

The problem with coaches leaving is there are no clear rules. So why allow free choice for one and not the other. You just want control you dont want fairness and dont give thr bull about its harmful to the athletes

If you want to sell your house does your neighborhood association tell you when you can sell it and for how much? 4M homes sold every year rely on the free market system. I think 15% of FB players will survive the rule less portal. The sky is not falling.

Oh, just wait til collective bargaining. And a strike. Then the colleges will be forced to use, GASP, students!!

Just put a AGE limit on playing COLLEGE football period no excuses go play with grown men your age

Spot on Jim.

CFB would be crushed under the weight of itself. An employment model with collective bargaining is beyond unrealistic at that scale. Also, the universities do not want it.

Jim, stfu. Congressional action is not involved regarding college athletes

In other words, chaos.

The reason there are no rules is b/ universities refused to revenue share b/ of greed. Sleep in the bed you made.

Only the latter will truly bring order. Legislation can still be litigated and overturned by courts.

What you are seeing is the system the way the coaches want it to work.

Isn’t portal opening & closing a rule? Isn’t in the portal vs not in the portal a rule? I am of the mind that signed NIL contracts r a rule also. The only take u have is that the NCAA doesn’t enforce its own rules. That’s the problem with the system. But yes, the system is dumb.

Why can’t they adopt tha same model as the NFL?

What insurance?

In other words complete chaos. Lol

SCORE Bill, representing a compromise between academic model and pay for play, is the last chance at preventing schism between the models. If it fails, some schools will go full pro (collective bargaining, drafting, trading) while others will stay in a modified academic model.

The chaos is growing on me because the schools had no problem yanking scholarships and pocketing all money when it benefits them.

Title IX lawyers will have a say in this also, as long as schools and players continue to receive federal and state grant-in-aid funds.

How do you collectively bargain with almost 15k FBs players? The wants and needs of those players are wildly inconsistent and impossible to agree on

@NCAA @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump NCAA needs to tandem with US Federal Gov't to set legal mandated laws on eligbility and transfer. Right now, no one respects the NCAA. They can challenge NCAA, but not Federal Law. Federal Law needs to be set on NCAA rules to stop this.
