Yes he is.

And this is exactly what I said in that Rhule thread. Beck is entering the portal without entering the portal. And he’d be dumb not to. This is what everyone wanted. Well, it’s here now. So if I was his dad, you bet your *** I’d be sitting in Kirby’s office saying “my son has options. We’d obviously love to stay here, we love you and the program and are grateful for everything. But this is a business. So if you’d like to keep Carson here next year, it’s going to cost you $2.5M. I have already spoken with 3 coaches who have offered him that amount plus his agent believes he can be a late day two pick this year. So if you can give us that amount, we’ll be back. Otherwise I have to explore other options. As a man who has done the same throughout his career, I’m sure you understand, coach.”

I’m not going to criticize the NCAA because I’m not smart enough to figure out a way to do this better than they have. And I believe, obviously, the kids should be compensated for putting a product on the field that TV networks pay BILLIONS for. But what this has morphed into ******* sucks. Maybe it’s the literal only way, again I’m not smart enough to know. But the current landscape is broken.

Like you said, it would be financially irresponsible not to gauge other options.

Not sure how to stop an open market like this, but it’s a free-for-all. Keeping players will considerably bite into allocated NIL across all programs.

yeah you could see this coming

I mean if we are going to give deals to high school kids that have yet to record a statistic, what do we think that means for kids that are already on the team and producing

I’ve been a little hesitant to comment about the portal because I just think we are in some unprecedented times right now it’s hard to really predict anything

NCAA saw this coming years ago and did nothing about it.

The solution is a collective bargaining agreement with players. A huge hurdle, but one that would solve the issue. Colleges and players could adhere to a NIL/compensation salary cap. Smaller colleges would mandate that this time around, there would be no wink winks at bags. Transfers could take place, but after the third year.

Again, huge hurdle but you need the players to collectively bargain.

I have to think this stuff ultimately bodes well for the NFL. They will have a lot more data on guys they're drafting. NIL is good for college football.

Probably where we are headed, but not sure how you stop the bags. Too much dirty money.

And no @OrangeBowlMagic I don't think this is what everyone wanted. People wanted fair compensation from the schools to balance things, not make it a NIL wild west. And yes, we're part of that problem. NCAA fought it for years instead of trying to find a reasonable solution.

To me, the NIL stuff would be significantly addressed if you eliminated the transfer portal as is. I think there's a middle ground between no transfers and free for all. Guys can transfer at no penalty:
  1. After two years in good academic standing (3.0 GPA); it's not uncommon to see students outside athletics transfer after two years
  2. As a grad transfer
  3. If the head coach they signed with leaves/is fired
Other than that, sit a year. If you have such a family emergency that you need to transfer closer to home, you probably should focus on that for a year. You're still on scholarship and still practicing; you just don't play.

It makes too much sense, so probably won't happen.
