Player could not transfer to any team in the top 3 of their conference division the previous year. That will help parity.
SO you want to go back to being unable to transfer within your own conference/division then. All this would do is cause a SEC portal transfer to rule out considering inside the SEC and going to another conference.Player could not transfer to any team in the top 3 of their conference division the previous year.

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.
Butchna, how on earth do they prevent a massive bidding war between big schools if coaches (like Linc Riley) want to change jobs and take their top 8 players with them? This will end very very badly for the college game if something is not done.Reminiscent of when coaches could exclude destinations. Not happeningā¦genies and bottles.
The game will adjust to whatever the market and rules bear. Dates back to Teddy Roosevelt.Butchna, how on earth do they prevent a massive bidding war between big schools if coaches (like Linc Riley) want to change jobs and take their top 8 players with them?

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!"
If a player wants to transfer to another school without penalty, fine. But he or she needs to stick it out until the end of the season and THEN enter the portal! And the portal privelidge should be a one shot deal! Any transfers beyond that and the player should have to sit for a year!
W's...... LOTS of W's. And rings.You would think the ease of transferring would hit top tiered teams like Baba hardest because they stack great recruits deep and that is one of the reasons they are so successful---if a starter goes down from injury the back up usually is just as good. This transferring IMHO is driven by players wanting more playing time than they are getting. This need to have more playing time has replaced yesterday's love of the school that gave you a scholarship. Makes me wonder how Sabin keeps them happy?
