Some context to portal numbers

NCAA is like big pharma or military contracts. Very little incentive to run a good business once the demand is established and no one else can supply the market.

I get your point, but I don't think this is a fair comparison. Big Pharma and Military contracts at least have some competition within their industry; the NCAA has even more of an advantage.

Teams should be allowed to sign up to the 100 man roster number, every year. Simple.

People tend not to think about unintended consequences.

If you let Bama and Clemson and Ohio Taint and Georgia and Texas sign 4 or 5 extra players per year...

Again, the answer is incredibly simple.

Let each school REPLACE each player who transfers OUT with a transfer IN.

Problem solved.

But then schools will push out players heartlessly. Need to have a limit on it.

True.

If you could take 50 players every year, there are still only 24 starting positions (I'm counting the K and the P). Then you would have a LOT more portal kids looking for new homes.

For every transfer you lose to the portal, you gain an extra IC spot for the following year. Simple. Problem solved.

How can you share money that you don't make? How can you make money if you're a 'non-profit'? See where I'm going with this?

I get your point. We are making very sarcastic comments about, essentially, the same...CURIOUS...situation.

The NFL is also a not-for-profit. The commissioner is paid a salary of nearly $40 million.

THAT is how you make money when you're a non-profit. And, of course, you have to pay these commissioners a "competitive salary", because that's what non-profits have to do...you know...to not make a profit...

They already do. Miami has pushed players out. Players are "encouraged" to transfer all the time.

i remember richt told the story of how he sat a kid down and straight out told him i don't think you'll be able to play for me, but i'll help you get wherever you want to go ... it's common

The rule was put in place to protect kids from being pushed out by schools as well as try to level the playing field by not allowing SEC schools to hoard all the talent. It has good intentions.

With so many transferring and declaring these days, the simple fix is allowing additional counters to get to a minimum roster level. Salary caps have a min/max in some sports. This would be no different. So why not set a number thought to be fair and allow additional ICs to cover losses up to that number.
 
Another thread full of people not knowing how the NCAA operates.
