Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

I'd love to know how many of these portal entries are due to players hoping to get a better NIL deal. There is probably no way to know it, but it would be interesting to compare it to how many are entering the portal for a better playing situation/environment.

Wonder how long it's gonna take for these NIL deals to start having clauses put into them where the player must stay a certain length of time or they don't get all their money/have to pay some of it back. Lots of guys jumping ship from the more NIL bag schools after 1 or 2 years. These big money players eventually have to get tired of throwing big cash bags at kids for them to only jump ship a year or two later, right?

That's the million dollar question. Because you want to say yes. But that's not guaranteed. I think some just like being able to accumulate high end talent and brag about it. But that's the only way there can be limits, if for example an attorney in Knoxville gets tired of not winning the SEC and spending his money, he says a kid has to stay for a certain amount of time and also perform at an all conference level or higher

Based on the Michigan and FSU NIL models, everything they do is 1 year deals. In fact, FSU lost a very talented (RS) Sophmore DE to the portal, because TBE (The Battle's End) would not give him what Jared Verse made this year ($700k). I imagine most NIL deals operate on a Year to Year basis because of how fluid the landscape is currently.

I thought it would had started to happen by now already, but seems like just MORE money is getting thrown around.

I don't think that's allowed. NIL can't be tied to a school or to performances......even though they all wink wink nudge nudge are. But you can't put it in writing, or you're breaking NCAA rules.

Unless you're Michigan.....then do whatever the fuck you want and #1 SEED BABY!!!!!!

Oh, these same big money donors have been doing this before NIL and still losing. Collectives just caused them to spend money but then get a dinner and an autograph from the players. This won't stop these guys for some more years!
