With the Portal Reopening this Week, Here's a Good Look at the State of the Game

Recommended Posts

Watching Chip Kelly on the sideline in Ohio State gear yesterday, during the Buckeyes Spring Game attended by 80,012 fans, was unusual and interesting. 

 

As Chip said when interviewed by Fox's Joel Klatt and asked about the move from UCLA: "I just want to coach football."  This a succinct answer at a time when College Football has never been more popular, and at a time when the regulation of College Football has been neutered; especially, when it comes to holding a roster together.

 

Football coaches have to recruit high schools, recruit the transfer portal, and then re-recruit players they have already recruited. There is no control over transfers, including multiple transfers by a player in the same season, and tampering is the name of today's game with no one able to spank those doing the tampering. Football coaches also have to be fundraisers, doing everything they can to ensure that adequate NIL money is available. 

 

This Yahoo Sports article, with a focus on the B1G,  is a good recap of where the game stands today.

Since spring practice began with Michigan football and MSU, Tuesday's opening of the transfer portal has loomed in the distance. Now it's almost here.

In this evolving portal era, programs take different approaches to attacking the opportunity that arises during each transfer window.

Super League? According to College Football News, there is already a Super League. It's the Big Ten with the SEC not far behind. 

 

Come 2031-32, each B1G member is expected to bring in $100M a year. The B1G is going to walk from this to collectively negotiate a media deal with schools like Boise State, Oregon State, and Washington State. 

 

How About No!
