There is no doubt that something needs to be done. The 1 year sit out rule should be reinstated and the portal issue would go away. That being said, we have to play the NIL game to be semi competitive in the mean time. There’s just no way around it.

The portal is fine too. It is the one time free transfer rule that screws everything up.
If you make them sit a year upon transfer, it would slow things down a lot.
Did YOU pay Dak, or Josh Robinson, or Preston Smith? I bet your were screaming just like everybody else when Georgia Tech was pushing our shit in.
Don't give us that crap that you aren't a real fan if you aren't contributing to NIL. Those 60,000 in the stands, those hundreds of thousands of eyeballs, those kids buying jerseys are ALL fans and help the team in a variety of ways and have just as much right to support, bitch, complain or whatever else they want to do as much as the guy that was slipping hundreds to Doug Buckles.
This is America. Of course they have the right. They look like a complete jackass when they willingly turn their nose up at the best possible way to help the program and then bitch at the coach for not getting good players, but yea, they have the right. And in 2014 it was against the rules and a lot of people didn't want to take the chance of being sloppy and hurting the program or getting their name in the paper and losing their job. That's not the case any more. Apples to oranges comparison.
