The sky has fallen.
To tie into our nonsense…”the night is always darkest before the dawn”.
The entire system has to crumble in order for there to be room for a new and better system to take its place. This is all part of that destruction.
Now, let’s not confuse things. I’m not happy with the current state of college athletics. However, I am in favor of the transfer portal and NIL. But, I believe both have been abused and twisted into forms that should have never been. Athletes deserve a cut of the pie and should have an opportunity to change their circumstances if the circumstances they agreed to have also changed. Neither should be an unlimited pool to continuously dive into.
- Everyone gets 5 years of eligibility, no exceptions; use them wisely.
- Every school has the same, fixed amount that a collective can pay their athletes from.
- Athletes are free to sign their own deals, outside of the school, for their own NIL (no different than any other college student).
- Everyone has 2 transfers available to them. The first allows an athlete to participate in their sport immediately. The second will require a one year ineligible period (this does not change the 5 years of eligibility rule).
- If an athlete declares for a draft of any kind, signs any form of contract, or receives any form of compensation from a professional league, their eligibility is automatically void; zero exceptions.
These are the basic building blocks. There are a few other ideas I’d be more than happy to discuss if anyone wants to go down the rabbit hole any further (they make some big changes to college football, specifically).
