Single Portal Transfer Window

[Volben00]

This does not prevent a player who wants to leave from leaving for another school at any time. They would just have to wait a year like they use to do.

To me this is more like - if you want to play for another school in the coming year, you must declare and move in a specific period or wait.

They have no legal authority to implement that. The ncaa cannot tell a player they have to sit a year because they didn’t transfer within their defined window. Because they really have no authority to assign a defined window for transfer to begin with

Like I said, if this impedes a player in any way, it will be challenged in court and the player will win

It should be only 1 portal in January, should last 2 weeks.

They will just get sued

Lots of comments thinking these high NIL players are students. That has gone out the window now. Players have already changed schools outside the portal window and the NCAA never challenged it.

It is amazing that so many of you believe that the players should get to make their own rules.

An employer can put limitations on a new employee - you don't get to walk in and demand where you sit, what you are allowed to take part in, when you get a promotion, etc. If you don't like it, you are free to leave.

If the collective universities agree they are going to allow only new transfers to come on board for the next year in a specific window of time - the university as the authority on who is allowed to partake in activities associated with their school, most definitely have the right to tell the player they have to wait. The question is whether the NCAA is considered as the governing body that is allowed to speak for the collective universities in this manner. Like the SEC is out there to govern markets and ensure fairness, the NCAA was established to govern competition in a fair, safe and equitable manner across the universities.

This all is a mess right now - it not benefiting the sports, the players or the universities.

10-15 days is plenty of time. The vast majority have their mind already made up. For sure 15 days is plenty of time. GBO

I do think at some point a university or a group of universities are going to have to step up and establish rules they all agree to abide by to stop the madness. Tennessee got burned this year with the Nico fiasco. And with some of the other off-season noise, he may have not been the only one who rocked the boat.

At some point, someone has to stand up and say enough and let the chips fall where they may.

I guess Tennessee had to bite the bullet to the spur the charge to make this to happen..

Yes, but, it worked out in UT's favor for once! I am glad Aguilar is at UT. I am sure most fans are. I think all fans will be mid to end of season!

UT didn't get burned should the year keep going the way it is for both the UCLA QB and Aguilar!!!

I see what your saying but it looks like the only ones that got burnt in Nico’s decision is Nico and his dad. Tennessee appears to be doing just fine. GBO!
