I might agree with that with one caveat. If a coach leaves or is fired, the portal door opens. If my kid signs with LSU because we think their Oline coach will help junior get to the next level, and then that coach leaves, Junior should be able to go somewhere else.

Any recourse for the school if Junior leaves of his own accord?

You mean, if coach is still there?
I say, Yeah.
The 'sit out a year' thing kicks in.

How about requiring a coach that leaves sit out the remaining years of his contract with the school he leaves? That would bring some stability to CFB.

Regulations, Cowboy?

Are you suggesting that the current laissez faire capitalist monopolies in college football require regulations?

What are you, some kind of f-ing commie?

Let college football be competitive by ending the transfer portal NOW.

When you sign to a school, you are signed TO THAT SCHOOL.

If you get your little feelings hurt at LSU, and you are not a graduate student, then transfer to Nebraska or some place, sit out a year, and lose one year of eligibility.   This would bring back the concept of the STUDENT/athlete, and also give coaches a better look at who really wanted to play and who simply wanted to be a prima donna.

Those games with the "lesser talented" players are normally pretty damn fun to watch.

I might agree with that with one caveat. If a coach leaves or is fired, the portal door opens. If my kid signs with LSU because we think their Oline coach will help junior get to the next level, and then that coach leaves, Junior should be able to go somewhere else.

I can tend to agree with that.  Watch what happens with the bama players now that $aban is gone.

BUT .............. naysayers will say that the kid is in college to get a degree, NOT go to the pros.  Very few of them do, so that is a valid point.

Hey Mutt!

It only took two decades, but the game to decide who was the best team in 2003 is near at hand!

LOL...Unfortunately, it is possible that no player on either team was even born yet in 2003.

I'm looking forward to it, but Lost Wages isn't exactly a neutral site.
That being said, I'll bet LSU's share of tickets is sold out.

Right now I'm bummed that the LSU baseball team has dropped to #5.
