Good news is, there are plenty of DL options available through the Portal. Problem is, GT is battling everyone else for the same transfers. This is turning into a Colorado type scenario along the DL (which has definitely been the weakest link for the better part of 16 years).
It’s not really comparable to NFL. There are a finite number of teams in the NFL, defined free agency, a salary cap. There are seemingly an infinite number of teams in CFB, so it’s probably not hard for a journeyman mid like Height to find a few extras bucks. What’s rich about Height’s situation, and correct me if I’m wrong, is he was nonexistent til the last 3 games.
I still don’t understand how this situation passes Title IX muster, especially once the schools start paying directly.
I 100% agree with Franklin. This whole process is a joke right now. Who knows how the coaches can keep track at the moment whether prepping for a regular bowl or the CFP.Finally a coach speaks up. The Transfer Portal should not open until the Playoffs and the bowls are complete. The whole process is ridiculous but there is no reason for the portal to open until the season in finished.

The lawyers round here might know
Easy. You want to attend another school in spring semester? Quit the team and enroll in the other school as a regular student. Walk on to the team. If you’re good you’ll get your scholly. You want to transfer as a scholarship athlete? Enter the portal after your season is done and enroll in your new school in the summer.
Usually why I throw out resumes, job hopping.
Calm your damn jets. He was good, but not that good. He wouldn't have scratched the two deep in 2007, 2008, 2009
Not at all ideal for the student athletes, but looks badass to type on a screen. Fuck those student athletes!!
I am confident the schools can get the players in later in January. Normally you can add or drop courses for several weeks after school starts. Most of these players are not focused on classes anyway.
There is absolutely nothing unfair in my proposal. Why should portal timing be setup to encourage quitting on the team that you’re probably being paid good money to play on?
Unfair / absurd. All semantics. Pick your favorite
The current process is more absurd than my proposal.
Yeah. Actually fuck those student athletes. The real problem is the fact that we worship them and throw money at them as a culture.
I don’t disagree with you. I don’t think your proposal makes much sense either though. I’m not offering a solution up so you can take the W.The current process is more absurd than my proposal.
Wouldn't you just have guys quitting the team after the season and then being recruited to walk on somewhere else for 6-7 figures (minus 5 figures they'd pay out of pocket for the spring semester)? So de facto the same thing?
