Move the portal window

Longseason

7:36am

Move it to when?

BigTex

7:38am

After the season

fattycoug

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

RGGeemer

7:42am

Yep, and they are still students

Littlerich

7:43am

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

Borg

7:48am

That’s both a non sequitir and a strawman.

chilawcoug

7:49am

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

Borg

Twice in a row. Impressive again

I would venture the majority are

Borg

8:19am

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

NYC and Japan

8:33am

Fair enough

Borg

9:09am

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

COACHdrn

10:03am

The number who are "making a mil" is miniscule

NGB

7:50am

Then the athletes are screwed with the academic year

RealTaysomHill

7:42am

Yep. They have to drop out of the old school (have to enroll for the new

chilawcoug

7:45am

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

Borg

7:49am

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

7:52am

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

chilawcoug

7:53am

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

Borg

7:56am

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

chilawcoug

7:58am

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

Borg

8:13am

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

chilawcoug

8:16am

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

RealTaysomHill

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

RealTaysomHill

7:57am

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

ballen

7:51am

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

Borg

7:55am

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

chilawcoug

8:00am

Make it so that if they enter the portal before the end of the season, including

Submariner

Many reasons for entering the portal… team performance, coach changes,

NYC and Japan

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

Submariner

Closes the later of January 9 or 1 week after you play your last game.

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

P-Boy Squad

7:42am

Did he get him in the position they’re in, or did they get him in the position

Polecat

9:19am

he is saying he understood the position the kids were in so he let them enter

BYUBuckeyeGoCougs

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

chilawcoug

7:42am

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

thewaterboy

7:45am

Some do, some don’t. And even for those who do, it’s not always in time for

chilawcoug

7:46am

In addition, one portal entry a year might be susceptible to antitrust claims

chilawcoug

7:46am

There's already a spring portal. They need to lengthen the time on that one and

thewaterboy

7:43am

Reinstate sitting out a year and move the portal dates

Indy Coug

7:46am

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

chilawcoug

7:47am

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

Saxa

8:01am

Settlement with Congress? What do you mean?

chilawcoug

8:03am

I really wish this rule came back.

TADOW

7:49am

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

Ghost of Peanut

8:11am

Is someone making him transfer?

benny1982

8:27am

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

JimmyZ

8:33am

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

sandtrapcougar

8:49am

Heavy heart? Pretty sure he meant open wallet.

KCFan85

8:50am

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

NYC and Japan

10:48am

So just skip finals?

RGGeemer

or let kids still play in their bowl game or playoff games even if they enter
