Annie No. 2 Share Posted December 16, 2021 And meanwhile, I wonder what percentage of players who enter the portal end up without a team at all. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Moderator No. 3 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Dabo has a front row seat to watch the various scenarios that occur. Add NIL agreements and then you will have individuals with questionable morals from the “win at all costs” crowd appear. I know there are legit reasons for a player to enter the transfer portal. However, it would be naive to think that every player that transfers has never been contacted by another coach, or representative, regarding playing time and monetary “opportunities”. In many cases these are still teenagers, and being exposed to moral corruption/tampering, especially if money is involved is shameful. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred flintstone No. 4 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Reality.....coaching, admin, universities, broadcasters, companies have been making billions on the backs of poor kids. Now the kids are starting to cash in and some rich overpaid coach complains. The game of 1960 is over. Just like major league baseball changed when the Flood decision occurred. If you want to clean up the mess......require every university to share 25% of every dollar they receive as revenue with the players in the form of food, books, supplies, transportation, clothes, health care, an annuity to start life with, a fund to help kids that become disabled from the sport, family assistance etc etc. Some might not like it......but somehow these same dudes think it's OK to pay a coach 12 million per year to coach kids and pay admin folks millions to sell tickets etc etc. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocketchange No. 5 Share Posted December 16, 2021 So labor shouldn’t be able to change colleges, due to whatever reason, because it’s tough on the coaches (the employer). Doesn’t he make millions of dollars? Deal with it Dabo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllOregon No. 7 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Transfer portal with NIL is absolutely pay for play and immediate. Something has to be fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck 1972 No. 8 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I don't think they can as the courts have decided in favor of the players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, I meant the immediate transfer part. They can go back to sit out a year requirement, etc. Under current arrangement, this could de-value good recruiters and be about money buying players even mid season.

After the Supreme Court neutered the NCAA with the Alston decision there is no entity to regulate NIL in all of its shapes and forms. It's pay for play.

So far it hasn't been a crazy big number but it is growing every year. The transfer portal is going to be a disaster for players. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As yep the NIL pay for play ship has sailed. But we can control transfer rules/timing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
