Move the portal window

Penn State's backup QB says he's left with an "impossible decision" as playoffs overlap with the open portal period.

He's leaving the team a week before a 1st-round game.

The timing of the portal period is not just impacting bowls (ie Marshall); it is impacting playoff games. https://t.co/N8zwkUqgDP

Move it to when?

After the season

It’s the only thing that makes sense. Can’t do it during the season

Borg

7:41am

It makes little sense from an academic standpoint

Yep, and they are still students

They are essentially pros. Missing a semester or making a mil is a no brainer

Borg

That’s both a non sequitir and a strawman.

No. It’s obviously the only thing that matters to these guys else they wouldn’t

Twice in a row. Impressive again

Not everyone is leaving for money

Quite wrong. The well known ones are leaving for $$. The vast majority will not

Fair enough

You're correct. But $$$ or not, they ARE transferring for football related...

The number who are "making a mil" is miniscule

Then the athletes are screwed with the academic year

They can dry their tears with hundred dollar bills. It’s not about academics.

If you had read my post, you’d know I never said it was about school

chilawcoug

7:50am

If the portal opens mid Jan (after NC game) …they can still make it

Borg

Only at some schools, and only if they enter, get offers, make decision

Hmm…I guess there are risks hitting the portal. Guess the grass isn’t always

I know you are already on your condescending high horse so whatever I say

I hope they do bust up the current system with an anti trust lawsuit. What’s

Okay so you admit your proposed system won’t work. Got it.

Academics are still part of it though. Players can be suspended for poor grades. If you’re arguing that college sports

7:51am

Do players enroll in Spring semester if they plan to leave in the portal?

Borg

7:53am

They have to enroll in the school they will be attending if they want to participate in spring ball

7:57am

Can’t they transfer after the season is over and finish the semester and then

If my season ended in Dec. And I’m hitting the portal. Why would I enroll in

Wait now you want a variable window depending on the team?

there already is.

Only when a coach leaves, correct?

All teams in the CFP get a week after the NCG.

Looks like it is already tied to their final game. Those are horrible incentives

Open the portal in April. Make academic requirements in order to transfer. You’d

That is why I said "is enforceable" and not that it must be enforced.

This is what Deliingham was talking about. He told his guys they can enter the transfer portal, but he still wants

The bigger problem is timing of the playoff/bowls. School starts in January.

Don't most schools allow transfers at the beginning of the quarter (mid-semester

They’d have to make athletes employees and collectively bargain that restriction

chilawcoug

the settlement with congress already paved the way to make athletes employees

Settlement with Congress? What do you mean?

I really wish this rule came back.

Athletes sued and the courts got rid of it. Not much the NCAA could do.

Is someone making him transfer?

benny1982

That is a "back up the brinks truck if you want me to play in the playoffs" move

JimmyZ

The easier answer is you let them opt out of the next season for the transfer

There is an easy solution. Move the playoffs earlier. Start mid-December finish

So just skip finals?

This is the best solution. Start the season a week earlier. All players are
