Look to the Transfer Portal: Discussion thread

[TwentySix]

Got people in here wanting full on daddy ball in college athletics. Can’t see a scenario where fans being able to effectively tell the staff who they get to go after is a bad idea at all.

It’s a fantastic feature idea. Lets the subscribers know where the money is going and give them some control over the money. We have revolutionized this game so many times including NIL, this would be another. It’s like picking and investing in stocks. Obviously a feature where the money is invested at the staff’s behest would also be an option. But as you stated, this would be a shrewd way of raising more money and fans being able to watch their returns on Saturdays.

Yea, and listen, ultimately I'm sure the millionaires who donate millions aren't gonna care and they can trust the school to use their dollars how they seem fit.

This is strictly for the working middle class being asked to pay for players. They should be able to control their money, it is their money after all.

Yes we ran in the b-gap a lot too. We were elite at both.

So Miami can hit the A gap. You made it seem like we didnt know how to do that. To me we need to run out side more. Nobody ever had to worry about setting the edge against Miami

That's not what his comment said at all, but changing the discussion is certainly the most effective way to operate on cis.

And the b-gap. We averaged more ypc inside the tackles than outside this year. We didn't run outside more because we weren't as good at it. If Martinez leaves as is expected we're losing our most effective runner between the guards. Probably should replace him.

I think we're going to run more outside next year though, as you don't recruit three smaller backs in back2back cycles unless you plan on getting to the edge more. We just need to block it better and I agree get more creative with our outside runs.

So walk me through how you let people donate to specific players allocations without that putting it in the fans’ hands of who they get to go after.

Either they put like 50 names as options at which point the C option for the staff may for some reason be the fans’ choice and then they don’t have money for option A, or they only put like 5 names out there and if people don’t like them they just don’t donate.

No where in his post did I read that the money dictates who we target. He said allocate money to specific players. IE: I could pledge 1,000$ to Dakorien Moore. That doesn't mean the staff can't recruit as they see fit.

Yea but what if said Moore isn’t interested in Miami? You’re just not going to donate?

Nobody would be telling the staff who to go after. A person would just get their money back if it didn't go where they wanted (remember, it's that person's money).

You guys act like a school is entitled to people's hard earned money. This is an unprecedented era where regular middle class citizens are being asked to buy college athletes. Thats realistically a job for schools and rich boosters, not middle class ppl.

But I'm saying, middle class ppl would be willing to donate more if they had control over their own money.

It's a pretty simple concept. If someone doesn't understand it, they're just looking at it from the wrong perspective.

My comment would lead to more money being donated, which is the goal.

Cway would drop $1k right now for Silver. But he doesn't want his own money to go to someone like Thomas Gore. That's fair for cway to think that (remember it's hos own money).

That’s… the exact same thing I’m saying. We “target” like a hundred players a year. Put all those names on the board. Staff likes player A but fans love player B. Fans donate to B so then the staff either goes after A with less money or just goes for B which is their second choice but they have the money for it.

The people he mentioned aren't donating. This would be new money coming in.

 

[Da Jumbo Mutombo]

the problem is most people are stupid and most know little to nothing about football.

Sure but it's still their money. You're assuming the target group I'm talking about is just going to blindly donate money anyway.

I'm talking about ppl who don't feel comfortable donating, but would if they could control their money.

Why would they have less money? The money we are talking about is not currently in the program. You are treating this like a reallocation.

This is such an insane take on so many levels.

 

[Jassid82]

According to the graphic, yes, 5 times.

You got me. Lol

 

[rascon]

Caleb Wooden

Lol this staff tries too hard. There's 30 other guys with more production and better film than an average reserve safety on an average defense.

If you land Thieneman, sure. Fine as Safety 2.

Who is doing the scouting on DBs?

Back up the Brinks Truck

2nd most important transfer priority (behind top shelf QB).

I said what I said.

I’m not acting like anyone is entitled to anything at all. The fact that college football programs have somehow passed the cost of labor direct to consumers is ******* ridiculous.

But from a realistic standpoint what’s being suggested leads to fans dictating who staffs prioritize. There’s an argument to be made that based on the current setup that makes sense, since fans are the ones paying. You’re right, it’s the people’s money. But realistically you’d be handicapping staffs into going for the guys the fans want if you do that. If we think coaches are bolting due to the system now, let that become the norm and let’s see who sticks around.
