Thing that’s bothered me most this year is the penalties and lack of discipline. One thing to get beat, another to consistently make mental errors.

Yall think the ability for a kid to transfer at any time makes coaches slow to discipline them?

Penalties were an issue under Saban, so was talking trash later on.

Current times call for feelings to be considered. Can’t hurt player X’s feelings or they will leave. Used to coaches didn’t give a shite about “feelings”.

Post-2020 college football isn't the same game. They destroyed it as a byproduct of what was going on nationally in 2020 and the narratives being pushed.

Either pamper superstars or go academy route.

Are other programs seeing these same kind of penalties like we have?

Personally, I’d like to see the NCAA break Division I football into two separate subdivisions, one subdivision that pays the players, has salary caps, provides them with workers comp, injury settlements, pensions, etc. In this subdivision, the schools should be able to discard those players and drop the facade of giving a crap if they graduate.

These players who only care about getting paid and don’t give sh*t about the school, their team or getting an education need to learn that ingratitude goes both ways.

Not ALL players are this way but WAY too many are like that and I’m just sick and tired of it.

There just needs to be NIL contracts that have penalties for transferring. That would end most of this.

The way to fix everything is bringing back the rule to sit out a year. It prevents total free agency and gives the schools a semblance of leverage.

But nobody has the backbone to change it back to that.

Median penalties per game for FBS schools

2024 - 6.1
2023 - 5.9
2022 - 6.1
2021 - 6.1
2020 - 6.1
2019 - 6.1
2018 - 6.0
2017 - 6.0

There's really no difference in penalties per game overall before and after the portal.

And what happens when someone sues and the federal courts … who are driving this car now, bipartisanly, not “sports people” … tell them they can’t?

I believe it does, and it's even worse for a guy like DeBoer that just arrived. They jumped the shark with the portal and have virtually no way to walk it back.

I’m afraid you didn’t understand what I posted. Players should be penalized by paying part of their NIL earnings back to the university if they decide to transfer.

Correct. The Supreme Court has spoken. You cannot do anything that infringes on the student athlete's ability to profit. Nothing. The only workaround is legislation that will also be compromised by the ruling. People keep saying CFB has become the NFL, but they are 100% wrong. The NFL was a business first.

What player will sign such a contract? What school will willingly destroy itself by insisting they must?

It would have to be mandated across the board. Since the NCAA apparently has very little control, I don’t know who would regulate it.

Contracts are the only fix, but fans are going to yap about that too because it goes even farther toward tearing down the illusions they've been operating under for decades.

It's going to crash under its own weight. You're seeing it already and the top schools will lead the crash.

We don't matter but those that send the big dollars do. They see the same shitty product as we do. When they stop the checks, it changes.
