I’m a little confused on how this all works with the transfer portal. Do I understand it’s almost like a trade scenario now? Do players still declare and then negotiate if someone wants them?

Its still, a player enters and then teams reach out and he can negotiate his NIL/contract deal. But now, if a player transfers, the team he transfers too must pick up a remainder of his NIL as a buyout. What @sammyjenkis was saying(from what I understand) is that the team the player leaves may negotiate how much of the remainder of the deal the team the player goes to, has to pay. So if Player A leaves from Mich St and has $300k left on his, if he transfers to UNC, they have to pay the $300k, or is it possible that they can negotiate to $200 just so they can free up a scholarship

LeBron James to Cleveland? Why heading East for the crown could be the move

Should LeBron’s goal truly be to win a championship, then the calculus is simple: He needs to head East.

This topic took longer to appear than I expected - LeBron back to Cleveland. (I don't see it happening, but I know nothing).

If it's not a talent thing then why penalize them for being successful?

Why can't other D7 teams run better schemes?

This.

Full disclosure - I'm from Coldwater, one of their major rivals.

There is literally nothing special about the school. They don't breed supermen there. They just play football very, very well. They don't excel at any other sport like this.

Now, I don't like them. My school wins every game except one (them) almost every year. There is no reason to punish them for their success

Thats fair, although, my personal experience at one of the "little ivies" (no, I did not deserve to be there) really opened my eyes.

Even at a school of that caliber, most of the kids could've saved a lot of money and still had the same job thereafter. I don't believe college is doing the same good for kids as it used to, on average of course.

Thinking about the demise of the student athlete and whether the student-athlete ever existed at all as I stared out my window a moment ago, it occurred to me that a lot of the non-athlete students in college are not really students either. Or, at least, not very good students.

Cannot see Mitchell and LeBron egos together.
