A thousand players in the portal already , can’t keep a team together for any length of time , no loyalty to schools anymore , kids opting out of bowls making them meaningless , recruiting is out of control and teams without money get left out etc etc . I do agree the 12 team playoff format is good for the sport . Otherwise it’s Wild Wild West with no rules or guardrails and it’s only going to get worse unless something changes for the positive.
Football Rutgers Football DE Wesley Bailey to enter Transfer Portal

There’s more fluctuation for sure but there are two ways to look at that though.
I choose the way that basically gives any team, even ones lower down the totem pole, hope going into any given year. You never realistically had that before.
IU the losingest program in the FBS turned around to have their moment in the sun in 1 year to go 11-1. ASU in 2 years and picked last for the B12 and under sanctions from Herm’s time was able to win the B12 and go 11-2. BYU was similar. Vandy with a transfer of Pavia was able to go 6-6 with the biggest win in school history and lost to Texas by just 3.
So you don’t have to feel I’m a fan of some low status school, we’ve got no chance to do anything of consequence going into a given year. A lot more things are possible than ever before. Hope is a fan’s best friend and you have more of it now in CFB than you ever did and that’s because of the changes happening.
When schools are able to pay players, I feel like tha could be another nudge in the direction of parity. If you’re a school in the P2 it should be easier to find the money in the budget as well.
It all depends on a player’s talent on the field and how ( if at all) he can help the new team. For the program it all is about what Positions that team needs help at and how much they are willing to pay for it.
Forgot Konga went there. He had limited playing time while with us. I think only a handful of games in ‘’22 and’23. Had 18 tackles this year at Louisville; which was 6th among their DL .
For the QB Moss, he will be playing for one of the best QB/offensive HCs in the country. At UL, the QB will be featured and high profile. I’m not sure with Bailey, maybe it is $$$ and a change of scenery.
This one smells of tampering last year Rene Konga ends up at Louisville, this year Bailey pulls out “with season ending injury” preserves a year of eligibility. Schiano intimates Bailey could have still played but chose not to do so. Both Players are Canadiens looks like somebody is whispering in their ear and pushing Louisville eh
So are Djabome and Raymond, but they're staying. Konga and Louisville may be whispering, but likely only to those who have alredy decided to make a move.
Anyone opening up a lot of KFC franchises in Canada? Follow the fast food and you’ll find your answers
Serious question. How's all the transferring work? Are there possible anti tampering or illegal recruiting rules for the transfers? Konga seems to have transferred late, and now they go after Baily. I am not saying anything was done wrong, but are there rules and punishments for anyone someone breaks them?
When a players informs his current school he plans to enter the transfer portal, his current school has 48 hours to enter his paperwork into the system to let other schools know he is available. Unfortunately, is doesn't always work this way.
There are third party individuals who may know the player but have contacts with the interested schools. By going through the third party, schools avoid being accused of tampering before the portal opens. It is well known but little is done about it.
Technically, you're not supposed to recruit players off another team's roster but they do by offering larger NIL payouts or more playing time.
The B1G needs to kill this. Coaches should be able to cut any player for any reason
When there is actual parity, that's when you will see oversight and regulation.
I’ll be shocked if we ever see true parity of resources, opportunity etc…The most we’ll get are these nudges in that direction which is more than we’ve ever had in CFB. So you take what you can get lol and at least we’re seeing things now that we haven’t in a long time or ever.
