See my other post, I don’t think the NCAA could organize a neighborhood birthday party for a 3 year old kid
Name checks out.../sWhat in the world are you talking about? Every other post I read is someone freaking out or not being able to follow along with the thread and asking about players that have been talked about over and over. I didn’t even mention people freaking out and you put worlds in my mouth. Why do you feel the need to interject all the time with baseless arguments? It’s gotten beyond annoying to be honest.
The current state of play is way, way, WAY more turnover and instability in players than any of the major pro sports. That's important to understand.Agree, it’s the reason I don’t follow MLB that closely anymore It’s not the same wild, wild west as the portal, but there is a ton of turnover in all pro sports, and college bball is now an openly professional sport.
NCAA already tried this. A few players challenged this in the courts (including Adam Miller) and won.It's time for the NCAA to establish two major changes to the transfer rule
1) You can only transfer 1 time free of penalty. 2nd time is an old school redshirt year.
2) You sign a contract with your university. They are being played like professionals, it's time we establish contracts as well.
He was close to 7 ft talk, just skinnyWasn’t he just very undersized then initially thought?
I think it’s a reflection on the utter corruption of NCAA governing body. They have now lost control of everything.Agree, it’s the reason I don’t follow MLB that closely anymore It’s not the same wild, wild west as the portal, but there is a ton of turnover in all pro sports, and college bball is now an openly professional sport.
The NCAA can't do it. What if the long-awaited union between the Big Ten and SEC could?NCAA already tried this. A few players challenged this in the courts (including Adam Miller) and won.
Regarding (2), in pro sports, teams don't want to give large guaranteed long-term contracts to unproven players. In college, proven players who are going to stick around for more than another year are rare. Teams (I mean NIL collectives) will only offer multiple years in return for less $ (at least less guaranteed). TBD whether players would go for that.It's time for the NCAA to establish two major changes to the transfer rule

There should be salary caps to ensure some level of fairness in the NCAAGuidelines, rules, just like any other professional sport (e.g., MLB, NFL, NBA, etc)
EXCEPT that all these have 1) a commissioner, 2) team owners, and 3) players unions.
With the NCAA now neutered, it’s going to get more chaotic until some outside entity steps in. The players actually have all the leverage, but lack a common focus and an organization.
When you take a case to the high courts and win, the toothpaste is out of the tube. No going back.I hate the portal. You can only get to know a player for one or two years max. Something has to be done.
The players would have to agree with it, catch-22 is there no player union representing all players to agree. Otherwise it is simply employers enforcing a salary limit, which is illegal under antitrust laws.There should be salary caps to ensure some level of fairness in the NCAA
Is someone choosing this? You could make a great argument that the NCAA created this mess by choosing to ignore the eventuality of player compensation, but the current situation is a product of the chaos of that inaction. I don’t think anyone is looking at the current rules and saying “yep… nailed it”, they just can’t do very much about it right now.The current state of play is way, way, WAY more turnover and instability in players than any of the major pro sports.

Watching players you have no connection with playing against opponents you have no history with. That is the product they're choosing to sell.
And the cheaters would exceed the caps. They always have, from the days before scholarships could be given.There should be salary caps to ensure some level of fairness in the NCAA
Ever read the Book of Genesis?This year's transfer portal is the greatest collection of names ever assembled.
Hope he does well, but I never liked seeing him check in the game. IMO, not a power 5 player.
The NCAA chose inaction, the Power Conferences didn’t take the lead so it was left for lawyers and judges to make the decisions which was the worst group possible to take the lead. The result is what we have today.Is someone choosing this?
