Transfer Portal Changes that should be Changed.....What say you?

lots of the usm fans aren't real sold on Huff, a discussion a couple of weeks ago with a season ticket holder was yea we won some games but we aren't really that good and the usm fan base isn't sold that he can recruit in this footprint

While I don't think I agree with you, that could simply be fixed by having the stipulation that whenever a head coach leaves a school, all players have the same opportunity (but it needs to be within a certain time frame so the new coach can know who he haves).

Or how about, not when a coach leaves...but only if and when a new coach arrives.... i.e. if you promote from within, like we did with dez, then nobody can leave. And even if instead a new coach does come from outside, you have to wait until they are there, so rather than rushing to hire. It would be smart to delay the hire until after therl regular portal closes

We know, we know, that is your opinion. You’ve stated it 17,000 times here trying to be the “law expert”.

You may be right on this, or you may be wrong. In my experience, when folks I’ve started negotiating with on a deal have said “Work with my lawyer”, it’s been 50/50 at best that it works out better for them. Too many times, lawyers are arrogant and don’t want to admit that a situation is outside of their real expertise, and their client in those cases actually loses out.

Sorry to tell you but it is far worse than 50/50 . . . over my 40 years in the industry I figure that about 15% of all lawyers are good lawyers . . . about another 15 percent are ok and you get above average representation from those . . . the rest pretty much suck - and every lawyer trying to lawyer outside of their expertise or wheelhouse also end up pretty much sucking - however, it’s not hard to see or opine where the Supreme Court will or will not go as it pertains to their opinion handed down on NIL and there are sports people, great lawyers, agents and people much much smarter then me, you and surely smarter than anyone on this Louisiana message board who have spent an inordinate amount of time and effort trying to address, defeat, sidetrack, lessen effect, change effect of the NIL decision on college sports - and to date every one of them have failed - the reason is what the Supreme Court handed down was a specific simple concept and there is probably NO, NO, NO, NO WAY AROUND IT - and, as highly improbable that there is a solution - if one happens it will not come from the repeated silly suggestions posted on this board . . .
