Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

1 transfer window right after the season ends. Kinda makes sense.

The bowl tie-ins and semesters starting in January for those wanting to join for spring practice make this a mess for football.

Agreed. Plus, they protect players whose coach leaves in the spring by providing them specifically an out whenever that happens. The other thing is, now teams like OSU will not have the same excuse as last year of not participating in the Crown or NIT because of the transfer portal being open.

Texas Tech Red Raiders (official thread)

I keep seeing people saying that this is not sustainable but as long as there are people winning to pay it IS sustainable. The only way it stops becoming a thing is if the people behind the money start saying no. Maybe the market will eventually have some rollback price wise on these players (especially for the unproven players who seem to be getting insane pay days for having done nothing), but I doubt the big money players at these programs ever just totally stop writing checks. It's likely to only get worse before there is maybe some sort of setback correction.

This.

It isn't about ROI. CFB is a playground for billionaires. They are buying racehorses to fuel their egos.

Re: On Thursday, the former Alabama, Utah and Michigan cornerback committed to Ohio State from the transfer portal, bolstering the Buckeyes' secondary with two years of eligibility remaining.

Re: He'll provide needed depth to Ohio State's cornerback room, however. Mathews, a senior, and sophomore Devin Sanchez project as the Buckeyes' starters on the outside with Florida State safety transfer Earl Little Jr. at nickel, but Ohio State is thin otherwise after some transfer portal attrition. An experienced hand to help in case of emergency, play dimeback in six-DB packages or even occasionally spell starters as Calhoun did for Alabama, is the type of support Ohio State needed to fill out its 2026 secondary.

Just sayin': Ohio State is his 4th school and he still has 2 years of eligibility left. He redshirted his one year at scUM.

QB Justin Fields (2019-20 B1G Off POY, 2020 Silver Football, 2019 B1G CCG MVP, New York Jets)

His issue in college was that he didn't seem to see the field very well and took too long to pull the trigger. It didn't matter as much in college because he had better protection and weapons that were able to get open. That issue didn't improve in the NFL.

Yep it was a noticable issue with him after Haskins. Cause Haskins got the ball out quick but Justin threw a better ball. Stroud was a combination of the 2 which is why he's done the best in the pros

Texas Longhorns (big hat, no cattle; please don’t Horns Down us)

Well, one had to know it had to happen. Putting down millions on untried players only means you've got a good one on paper, but on the field it's another story. Heck, tOSU has one, with the Rice OL that maybe cracked the two-deep, but certainly didn't carry their weight (literally) on the field. But there's one thing, a scholarship is now for four years, and NIL money isn't. At year end, the coach sits down with the player, and says, 'Fella, you've still got your schollie, but no more NIL'. Doubt they're going to turn in their Range Rover, and eat dorm food again, no? Conversely, one also has to know that tampering is happening everywhere. Hey, come to XXX, and we'll give you YYY NIL money, and a Lambo to boot!
