Tennessee AG says he's glad he won legal ruling allowing unlimited player portal transfers while also saying the impact on the portal has made it a disaster.

College football transfer portal is 'train wreck.' Ask man who ignited it​

Re unionization of student workers: It’s quite possible that if universities have to pay students like regular employees, they just might decide to employ regular employees. Regular employees will require less training, will likely have significantly less turnover. Look for fewer student jobs.

Given the sitch in college sports now, the Deon debacle is akin to people who sold weed in the past and are still locked up for years.

Good for Dabo - it's about time someone had the stones to call this bull**** out. It appears that Golding is as big a scum bag as Kiffin.

Exactly. I'm not surprised so many people are capitulating with comments like "he's a has been" or "there are no rules" etc. That's par for the course in our spineless, immediate money over everything else culture. Things absolutely don't need to be this way.

And btw, this is a bunch of grown men who presumably know better, effing with the heads of young, impressionable 18-23 year olds.

That agent is obviously a scumbag and liar too.

How many HS players has Dabo 'flipped' out of their commitments?
How many raises has he gotten based off the fear he'd go to another program?

Dude is worth 30M, will make another 70+M and loves to complain about players making their market value.

To be fair to his position, I think you need to separate (1) Dabo not wanting kids to make market value and (2) not wanting programs to tamper.

Also, flipping and tampering and different thing too.

Tampering is not allowed in any sports league and should not be allowed in college football. Kid was enrolled in and going to classes at Clemson and was not in the transfer portal. He should not be getting phone calls from head coaches telling him to leave school.

I think you need to separate what sucks for fans from what is a bad faith point made by someone who benefits from the narrative and the current state.

"Tampering" is intentional framing biased towards his point. By Clemson's own school rules, students are still in the window where they're allowed to leave the school with no repercussions. If a student could transfer schools Clemson to Ole Miss to be closer to an internship opportunity in the same time frame, it's arbitrary to limit them just because the income is sports related.

It's all an issue becuase the NCAA set a single portal time frame (which Dabo was a huge proponent of) for athletes and likely to be defeated in court exactly because of situations like these.
