Transfer portal no rules era is affecting my love for the game. You should be able to transfer without as many restrictions as back in the day, but this is too much.

Absolutely ridiculous to have a transfer portal at this time of year.

Like Coach Smart said Just give me 365 days of knowing who I have on my roster

I'd like to see there be one transfer portal a year for college football -- in February, after the bowl games and CFP and before spring practice starts.

It's really sad what is happening to my favorite sport...

R.I.P. college football

Love this idea, Josh. We did something similar when I played high school ball. We called it a "Jamboree", and it was a couple of shortened exhibition games with modified rules for tackling and special teams (for safety purposes). You would only play against other teams from your immediate area (so no one had to travel far), regardless of school size or talent level. It was a great way to assess your team early and get some much-needed "live" action under your collective belts before the actual season started.

A couple challenges of playing real games in spring is scheduling and player availability. Teams have spring ball on widely varying timelines. Some are practically done before others have barely started. The big one though is losing players to graduation, portal, or injury rehab, and sometimes barely having enough players in a position group.

As always, a great analysis and commentary Josh.

For years in a team fan site I argued that colleges were screwing the players over and should pay them before it was mandated by free agency. Those fancy facilities we brag about were paid for by the product of college kids. Loyalty? If you had a favorite car dealership who quoted you 15% more than competitors, would you buy from him over loyalty? Be honest. The days of handshake agreements went out with the hoola hoop. Those top team we all know about have bought players for years, it's on a bigger scale now.

I feel like you been hinting at Caleb Downs for a while now👀👀

I’d argue and most coaches would argue it’s the summer it’s when the coaches aren’t around as much as when the real team building leader ship is done off-season workouts are a huge underrated factor

Tbh i love this era of college football it took nick saban away but it’s exciting as a fan knowing you can contribute to your school getting players via NiL is a great way to keep the fan bases engaged but i do understand that it is a difficult thing to deal with for everyone involved (players coaches universities)

OMG can we please have FCS tune up spring games as exhibitions? That would be incredible.

If Josh were true southern man, he’d only wear white sleeveless tee’s

Wow the spring game idea is an amazing idea bruh

There should be one transfer window and it should be after the season ends. That is it.

lol great effort by Mack brown trying to spin the fact that they just aren’t gonna be good this year into that he is taking some moral high ground. Hysterical

Players should only be allowed to tranfer after bowl games. No other time period of the year except when a coach leaves

whats the point of HS recruiting then?

The injury potential and losing a key player in an fcs matchup in spring will prevent that from happening is my guess

One time transfer, after that you must sit out a season to tranfer!! Make them have to really consider transferring!

It's a 5 star DL from USC via UGA. Figure it out, lol.

Waiting with baited breath to see all these chaotic seismic transfers that will dwarf what Kadyn Proctor did to Iowa, like you said was going to happen, Josh..................

College Football needs a commissioner

"It's all legal?!" Yes, it is legal. Josh is correct! It does not mean it is the right thing to do simply because it is legal. It is legal to approach one's marriage with the attitude of "it's all about the money and I can look for a better option at all times." However, we all know that is a poor way to go about things. It is rarely going to be a positive to approach any relationship with the primary focus being maximizing money with little to no commitment in return.

If the number of players on scholarship is limited (85) is it possible to have more off record scholarships covered only by NIL.

I think he was talking about Bear Alexander

1) Every Team should have a fixed number of Transfer Portal players it can add each year. 2) Transfer Portal period should be after Bowls end and that’s it. Maybe lasting one month then. This should also apply to hiring new Coaches. 3) Players should only be allowed to use Transfer Portal once, that’s it.

Who is the defensive player that is looking at the portal Josh is talking about?

They have to set limits and guidelines to follow before this gets out of hand.

The TP is getting out of hand. Open the TP at the end of the season and that’s it plain and simple.

Pre season, real games would be awesome. Transfer portal should have NIL/scholarship penalties. There has to be something, contracts or something to limit the free for all that is happening now.

How much money do you think that freshman DT at Michigan has been offered? Or will get?

It sucks, I'm a va tech fan and tech should be way better this yr but that's with their current roster, I've heard rumors about 1 key guy and if he left that would be a game changer, it's sad but this portal/NIL is out of control.

The rules will change one day. 😊😊😊

I've been a college football fan since 1951. Several years ago I said the only logical thing for colleges is to turn their football and basketball teams into a separate business. That would be no more competitive with the NFL than it is now. You could sign players to a contract that limits when they could transfer. But players would still get paid. Colleges could pay, say, the first 23 players or 5 in basketball and still offer scholarships and less pay to the rest who actually want to attend college. For colleges this could make football and basketball bring in revenue for academics from the profits. Some % split of the profits for academics. Just go like the NFL for the major colleges and you solve much of today's problems. And make the teams separate businesses owned by the colleges and put everything under the same business rules as exist for the NFL. Major private schools invest their endowment money to support academics. Harvard once owned millions of acres of forest land in Brazil. Make a killing. So why not just go pro? Saturday's pros while the NFL is Sunday's pros. Why not?

This would be like the NFL playoff teams from the previous season getting to cherry pick the players they wanted right after the draft.

another approach to sccomplishing parity

Will a TOP starter on top ten team MOVE? If YOU were an ELITE NFL aspirant QB - where would you DESIRE to play?

I really hope this is not being over hyped. Love Josh and trust his intel, but this sounds too crazy to be true. Hard to believe so many guys want to flip at this point

I'm going to ride this Mike Elko train till it comes off the tracks" hopefully never"

Well good to see the coaches squirm....if hes making 10mil bucks then he deserves something to worry about it. Cause off the field, they got it made...is what it is. If they dont like it, do what Nick did and retire.

I've lost so much interest in college football. Transfer portal and silly conference changes have ruined it.

It sucks because as a USC fan we are on the up and up but news just broke that Bear Alexander is hitting the portal strictly for money. I can’t wait until they fix this transfer portal nonsense

loadsa portal fodder

I love the transfer portal era, seeing these kids get what they deserve is so refreshing, and seeing teams be able to control their own rosters is exactly what this sports needs.

Transfer portal should be once a year graduate Transfer go a week ahead of time

Tampering is not legal to my knowledge… just not enforced

Portal just going to be the same teams 🙄

People coming to USC 👀✌🏽

End the portal NOW !!!!!

This is ridiculous and it needs to be changed. College football is being ruined by NIL and the Transfer Portal(s).

I love the power the players have with there career. I think it's the true American way

It’s over

It seems like everyone is forgetting there is still “real” college football out there. Ask yourself, what is your favorite D-3 school? D-1 is nothing more than a (poorly regulated) developmental, minor professional league.

The kids are just following the adults in the room. All this talk about loyalty in a sport where coaches would kill their mother for a better job is rich 😂😂😂😂

No

Nil and transfer portal has killed the game

There are already tons of players in it that dont have a team. Ncaa is useless and needs to go away at this point.

I hate the state of college football right now. It’s a complete mess.

I love it. Should have paid these kids 30 years ago a little something when they had the chance. Again I love the state of affairs 🤘🏾🤘🏾

As I have believed since the inception of Transfer Portal, College football will be the one sport that will suffer most from TP.. It is a terrrble idea. If it continues, we might be returning to the Ivy League concept sometime in the distant future. Secondly, are these kids really getting a college education? Betting most are taking mostly lame and useless college courses.

The Portal and NIL is a cancer that WILL destroy our beloved CFB. PERIOD ....

$$$$

a whole lotta schizo deviousness

College football is now officially a train wreck.

The same coaches complaining and pleading for the shackles to get back on never spoke of alternatives to “unrestricted NIL”. People like saban kept them mouths shut about only for thr NCAA to fail them, THEN we started hearing about “oh come on guys, let’s figure out a fair solution…”. So bite me. As long as this can go on, let the kids feast and let the adults fix the mess they created by ignoring shared revenue and acknowledge players as employees and just assuming the NCAA would be able to keep things in their favor but rejecting ALL ideas.

Spring ball is a joke

What you're asking for will only help the Blue Bloods. Youre asking players to give up rights that coaches are still afforded. This boomer mindset really is a sickness

This is why college football now sucks.

Josh, you don't care about the game the way you say you do. Schools can take back scholarships, and Coaches can leave whenever they want to. Let the kids make their money and have free movement like everyone else. Schools get paid, the NCAA gets paid, Coaches get paid.... Yet only one entity plays the game and takes the hits.... the ATHLETE.

$$$$$$$ Is really fugging up this CFB.
