My proposal:

You can transfer anywhere you want, for any reason, the coach doesn't have to release you, etc. You can go to an arch rival with the whole playbook in your hand. But you can't play for a year. You can practice, you can scrimmage, you can collect NIL. But you cannot play for 1 year. That sit-out year would not cost you a year of eligibility.

I'll be generous and say grad-tranfers are exempt. Just like the old rule.

I'll be even more generous and say that a transfer can take a redshirt year and still play in 4 games, if they haven't already redshirted previously. Or do the complete sit-out and have it not count as a redshirt year (even though it basically is). And still not cost a year of eligibility.

I think this is the quickest and easiest way to get the transfer portal reigned in, without lawsuits.

What say yall?

On the second non-grad transfer, you sit out one year.

Nah.

These guys are on the clock as to when they can make money. Football and athletics in general are a young man's game.

No. Unless it doesn’t cost the player a year of eligibility.

As long as athletic scholarships are for 1 year and only renewable at the team’s option, a player should not be bound to the program past that year.

If scholarships were for multiple years I’d think a rule that said a player had to play at one school or sit out at the transfer school for the duration of the original scholarship would be fair.

I can understand why the top talent teams would want to discourage their quality depth from leaving, but these kids don’t want to sit the bench. Why punish them for wanting to make the best of their opportunities?

All of them sit a year. No exceptions. Problem solved.

Let these players go where they want ASAP so they can make as much money as possible as soon as possible. NFL players go from one team to another and, somehow, that league survives.

It is amazing how many of you want to restrain the income of people in a free market economy. Whether it is college football or anything, we need less regulations that keep people from making money.

Fortunately, we now have a Supreme Court that will stop communists, like the guy who created this thread, who want to interfere with people making money. God bless Capitalism.

If you transfer to a team with a better record you have to sit out a year. If you transfer to a team with a worse record you get $100,000 good boy bonus.

I personally think it should be as follows:

If you redshirt in year 1 only, you can transfer one time immediately following your freshman year without sitting.

---OR---

You can transfer one time upon completion of your associates degree (year two usually) without sitting out.

---ALSO---

You can transfer one ADDITIONAL time upon completion of your bachelors degree without sitting out.

Any transfers not following these rules are not eligible for immediate eligibility for the following football season.

All NIL money is pooled at the conference level, split evenly among all athletes for that sport in that conference, and you can transfer any time for any reason with no sitting out.

Lets go ahead and accelerate this to where it will end up eventually instead of dragging it out.

1 yr sit rule for any player who is not a graduate or a senior. I’m not burying a senior who can’t get in the field at one school when he can start at another.

I don't like that from a personal freedom standpoint. For future NFL guys declaring as a junior if they are good enough is the best financial decision, so you're costing someone 1/3rd of their potential tape/experience.

If you want to get a grip on the mercenaries in CFB, the NCAA needs to mandate that to join a collective that is directly affiliated with the university/Athletic Department you have to sign a contract that you are there for 4 years or 4+1 in the case of redshirt years, and if you break it then you can't get a NIL deal from the new school's collective for a year. I think this would win any potential challenges because they are only legislating what the actual school does. Private individuals/businesses doing NIL deals would still be fine, so you're not going to completely remove the issue, but it'll put a dent in it. And there could be a waiver system for hardship, but have it run by maybe compliance people from various schools/conferences or someone other than NCAA.

Stop hiring leftist lunatic "professors", and then higher education will go back to meaning something


Let the chips fall from there

No. I think you should be able to transfer every 2 months. I want to completely burn this shite down.

Instead of 1-yr sit out tule make a limit on how much NIL money a player can get. Each year the amount can up, but if a player decides to transfer it goes back to the max of their freshman year.

This would help players that aren’t getting paid as much as they should. This also helps the schools that have spent money recruiting and developing to keep their players.

There would be exceptions like if a coach was fired, if a player was a grad transfer, transferring from a FCS to FBS or FBS to FCS.

I think players should play by the same rules as the coaches.

The same financial limits.
The same transfer limits.

If a coach moves from one program to another he has to sit out of coaching for 1 year unless it is within the same conference - then he sits out two years.

These coaches knew what they were getting into when they accepted the contract.
