This......^^^^^^^^^ That's all that needs to be done..... Loses complete Eligibility if Not in Good Academic Standing.If anything needs to change its that a player cannot put their name into the transfer portal until after the season is over! This going into the portal and quitting on your team mid-season is complete crap and the rules should not allow for that!
Also, can a player enter the portal and switch schools as many times as they want without penalty? If so, THAT needs to change as well. The transfer portal needs to be a one shot deal. Any transfers after that and a player must sit out a season.
Player could not transfer to any team in the top 3 of their conference division the previous year. That will help parity.
100%Reminiscent of when coaches could exclude destinations. Not happening…genies and bottles.
I ain't sure what all you just said, but man it sounded smart.I doubt this was your thinking, but the idea is similar to socialism--yes, you would improve parity (equity), but by limiting individuals from improving their lives through greater opportunity, even when the player assumes the greater risk.
The portal, NIL, paying players...
preserving the traditions of college football for fans...
protecting and updating the institutions that provide the necessary structure for college football...
in combination these involve issues similar to those addressed in the Federalist Papers--with a needed appendix on preserving individual rights and representative government against private sector oligarchies and the federal agencies which share in their data gathering.
We live in a strange and difficult time of foundational changes. Few institutions are surviving intact, or recognizably.
But unfortunately, we live in a time when empowered problem solvers are looking to the "unlimited digital possibilities" of the future for their answers, rather than the deeply examined and centuries-tested past. This is the era of systems, not humans, and the future of college football will reflect that. "Caring" for the humanity of the players will only be a facade, a leverage point for initiating changes that benefit the few while providing circus for the masses and advertising for the bread makers.
It's a free country yes but there ARE rules of society where consequences are put in place if anyone breaks them. You cant have a lawless society and IMO college athletics need to have policies in place that strongly promote virtues like commitment, stick-to-itiveness, adaptability, teamwork, overcoming adversity, etc. In the current state, college athletics promotes NONE of that with this ridiculous hippy-dippy, wishy washy "hey transfer whenever and wherever you want maaaan" policy. There NEEDS to be some accountability in place to this or college athletics are going to be nothing but one giant annoying game of annual "musical chairs!"Why do people get all worked up and mad over kids entering the transfer portal? It's a free country unless you accept a scholarship somewhere? If they don't want to be on the team they ain't no good for the team, bye bye. If they won't take care of the academics, same. Most of these guys entering the portal aren't as good as they think they are.
Just open up playoff to 12 teams, and you'll get 20 teams competing to be in the 12 spots instead of same 6 teams, year in, year out going for 4 slots...and recruiting balance will even out.Player could not transfer to any team in the top 3 of their conference division the previous year. That will help parity.
Depending on your eligibility that’s a moot issue. If you utilize your one free pass, you next stop would require at least sitting one season. So if you play (or redshirt) and get dissatisfied AGAIN? That’s accountable.the only rule I’d like to see is if you transfer, you have to stay at your next spot two years minimum.
The kids can go wherever but eventually you have to be accountable for decisions.
