Transfer Portal

So that should give us 13-15?

No we only have 7-9 scholarships left

Scholarships left over from the early signing period plus the ones in the portal?

Correct

[Cajun Monkee]

Correct

Not trying to be argumentative, just trying to understand.

I thought we originally had 15 available.

Signed eight early leaving seven.

Six in the portal.

Is that 13?

We only had 9-10 scholarships available for signing day

Before all the transfers

It's sad how scholarships really don't have any value anymore. The NIL is the new scholarship for some players. The only way that I see the NIL situation gets restrictions is when a big time P5 school gets one or several of their prized players by one or more P5 schools and cries foul. Then they may demand changes. Until then, we're just a feeding trough for them to feast on.

Can't blame any coach for following Billy.
1. You know your boss.
2. Double the pay.
3. SEC coaching circles.
4.Chance at a national championship.

Once you get a P5 coaching job, the money is guaranteed, no matter how crappy of a coach you are. Ask the guys in Baton Rouge. Oregon got $17MM to sit on his butt. Way to fail forward.

UL can't compete. This is different if we're competing against another G5 program, but it's the SEC! Tough to swallow, but being the "Best G5" or "Best SBC program" is fools gold.

Napier pulled Etienne yesterday, now has 5 of ESPN top 300. Same as tOSU. Like it or not, NIL or not, he’s doing what he was hired to do at Florida.

We need to just move forward. We have an example to the east, State just hates Saban. State couldn’t compete with the NFL at that time,

The NCAA has finally made itself more important than the education system.

The NCAA has finally made itself more important than the education system.

That is very true.

Not sure if it means anything, but Leger liked a tweet about leaving from an LSU WR

The NCAA has finally made itself more important than the education system.

I’m going back the day the autonomous 5 told the NCAA to stuff it. Additionally the courts decided that the NCAA wasn’t allowed the rights to NIL of players.

This fall the NCAA stated they’re not going to oversee and punish universities. They can do that within the conferences.

So with the blessing of the the autonomous 5 the NCAA could reinstate a one or more year penalty on transfers. Not likely to happen.

I think that what might get some changes is if most P5 teams can’t compete with say Texas and Texas A&M in funding NIL. If the LSU’s and Alabama’s of the world can’t compete with the Texas Billionaire’s, then the NIL will be the devil’s work and changes will be implemented.
