1 year sit out after transfer is forever over......waste of time pining for it's return

Most schools should just shut down their football program. It's a losing proposition with NIL and the portal. Let's these ungrateful children fight for 1/4 of the spots. The greed iskilling the sport

The USSC will never allow that as an infringement upon the constitutional right of an athlete to exercise NIL . . .

Yes, Mr Lawyer. You tell us that time and time and time and time again.

Still doesn’t change the fact that having a no sit portal has made this a complete circus. Honestly, I’m at the point I hope the entire thing collapses. We’re already seeing where one NIL fund apparently funneled $35 Million through a “charity”. Putting some folks in handcuffs for that sort of stuff and tax evasion games might help.

[Cajunrunner]

That is correct. If they try to enforce the sit out a year rule it will get struck down in court.

Which is idiotic. The players who don’t want to abide by NCAA rules are more than welcome to gather with their booster folks and form a minor league, or just train on their own for two years until they’re draft eligible. Just go tryout for an NFL or CFL team.

None of the prior NCAA rules prevented any of that.

[CajunVic]

None of the prior NCAA rules prevented any of that.

Only because the Supreme Court had not spoken on the issue . . . That NIL opinion is a game changer whether you like it or not . . .

The USSC will never allow that as an infringement upon the constitutional right of an athlete to exercise NIL . . .

Is NIL any different from earning a living?

Per SCOTUS leanings a no compete upon signing is enforceable if written correctly.

As long as there is athletics, there is greed and money. Even an arms race in high school.

It’s funny, yet sad, West Monroe High School has an indoor training facility. And ULM flounders.

At the moment,there's only a few ways to sustain success.

1. Be a Top 20 college football revenue generating team that can afford to spend. (LSU, Michigan, Texas, Ohio State)
2. Find a niche in the college market. (Indiana, Texas Tech, BYU, JMU, SMU)
....Texas Tech and Indiana decided to exploit the rules before everyone else could catch on. So far the strategy has worked.

Interesting segment on Indiana's strategy.

We have to decide who we are going to be and what we are offering.
- Are we serious about FBS football?
-Sustainability in the new market?
- Is it money, opportunity, specific scheme?

We have to decide quickly and go all in.

When NIL first came out, I thought it was a system to allocate money made from a players name, image, and likeness. Sort of like if a shirt was sold with the players name on it, or if a player was in a tv commercial, or something of those sorts. Not just bags of money thrown at them before they even started school. Or paying a player to transfer schools before they even did anything.
