I still think you let less transfer. If you sign a kid, it's a 4-year commitment. If he leaves, you lose that scholarship.
No what this would do is raise all boats. Those kids will find out that D1, D2, NAIA, D3 are all really good competition and the ones that will be bumped down to those levels will still get scholarships.

We could just skip the farce that these kids are signing up to play SEC football because they want an education and eliminate scholarships and set roster limits.
It'll happen eventually.

Also ban walk-ons from getting NIL. Currently schools are stockpiling more than 85 scholarship-quality players.
If they want NIL, they can go to a school that has a scholarship offer for them.

The genie is out of the bottle. Most of these ideas to create parity would die a quick judicial death. I'm sure that Georgia and Bama would sponsor the lawsuits for some deprived, low 4-star.

We'll need a college football players union to agree to the terms and it should all be fine.

Install an MLB-style "luxury tax" that transfers some NIL funds from the higher $ schools in a conference to the lower $ in a conference. Not in-between conferences transfers, just moving money around within the conferences, to make each conference more competitive.
Allow transfers without sitting out a year only when transferring from a school to a lower NIL cap. Talent should trickle down, not up. If you transfer to a school with a higher NIL cap, you have to sit out a year.
Those 3 things would help a lot and make the product on the field more interesting without totally overthrowing the social order.
This is the ticket.

With NIL, I'm not sure scholarships matter.
You can give every player past the scholarship limit a 35k a year NIL deal and that's effectively a scholarship.
What we need is hard roster limits of say 70

Limit the scholarships, the price of 4 & 5 stars will triple and you can predict which 8 teams would get them. There's no easy fix with the portal and NIL.

When you pull a player from the portal, you have reimburse the previous school the total amount of NIL the previous school has given that player. If you pull inside your conference an additional penalty and/or limits of some sort.

Scholarships matter little when boosters can pay a player anything they want. Hell, teams like Bama and Texas could have zero scholarships and still field a better team than half of hte SEC.

That would help.

Schools can't give NIL deals to players. We're in this mess bc schools avoided the player-compensation issue like the plague. Now it's a free market function.

I said school for simplicity, but you are right reimburse the cooperative is more accurate.
There are a few schools who link straight to a NIL fund for each player when you visit their athletics page. It's already dancing on the edge.

This NCG had nothing to do with NIL. Georgia/bama/Ohio state and Clemson have dominated since the playoff began. Sprinkle in LSU here or there. Nothing different this year. Unfortunately college has generally been this way.. you had different eras of Miami, USC and Florida. I'll believe NIL has a negative impact when Texas and A&M rise from the ashes. They will spend more than most.
To be honest, when TCU lost to K State they shouldn't have been in the conversation. This just reinforces that. I doubt they make this mistake again.. what a terrible finale.

Not really. While it's pretty clear where Kavanaugh will vote, the actual majority opinion was much narrower than people are claiming.
But if they wanted to further strengthen their legal position, the P5 conferences could just break away from the SEC to set rules. At that point, you have competition for college athletes and any plaintiff would have to argue that the market is for major college athletics. Still a potentially winnable case for college athletes but harder.

Different political environment then. Not saying it can't happen, and I think the availability of NIL makes it a much easier sell, but still not the same.

Just reallocate those 15 to other sports.

This game just shows how far ahead UGA was from other teams. When they were 100 percent dialed in this year against Oregon, Tennessee and TCU it clearly shows how much better they are. There were a lot of games though including OSU game they just didn’t show up. Missouri and UK were some other ones and they still won by going through the motions. That UGA team was so good they would have even beat Bama by 3 or 4 TDS because they would have been dialed in for that one. When they beat Oregon 49-3 I figured they would win the whole thing unless they slipped up because they got bored.

Just pass something out of Congress. I doubt any SC would declare a constitutional right to play CFB for whichever team you want.
Or just sever CFB from "student-athletes". Let the schools offer scollys to players, but not require players be student athletes. Boom, no more legal problem, NCAA go do what you want.
