When will something be done to fix the portal?

It was great before NIL fully mobilized. The schools couldn’t stop NIL after the court decision. Allowing a 1 time transfer without sitting out was on purpose. So that the schools who always cheated could buy players right off of other teams.

A one time transfer to me is Ok. It’s fine. It allows most of what’s going on. It’s the guys sliding from one team to the next and paycheck to paycheck that need to be curtailed.

But how do you prevent an individual paying a certain player to go to a certain school? Especially if the school isn't involved in any of that deal between a player and booster.

You KNOW there are guys out there that aren't rich enough to afford a pro team but are rich enough to "buy" players for specific schools. Those types are short stroking it all over the place as the opportunity for them to control something in sports has finally arrived.

We’re at 67 and counting. And 1 Drew Allar injury away from my scenario occurring.

Anyone of value could have already sat a bowl game out if they wanted to. Portal doesn't change that was already a thing.

Players don't get freedom only when it doesn't matter to fans.

You’re not getting it. It’s about TV RATINGS. Aka MONEY.

People paying big bucks for transfers in a non revenue sport is crazy!

Which will overall be gangbusters even if it happens every once in awhile in one playoff game there's a blowout which is already going to happen anyways.

ND is probably blowing out IU but if IU gets past them, they probably get blown out in the next game.

Won't matter to overall ratings.
