Transfer portal is a joke. Most NIL deals are done by boosters before the kid even goes in the portal. This is suppose to be illegal
Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

I wonder if NIL can be used for benefit. Could you have a situation where there is multi year contract signed that could then prevent this sort of tampering? If an athlete were under contract with a booster program and another booster program offered more money, that would be handled in court rather than relying on NCAA rules.
I’m not blaming him at all. I just have an issue with the system that is currently in place.
However this shakes out the NIL is gonna hurt a lot of schools.
Yes, but you would have to keep on doing this every year, which is the problem.
You have some members of Congress pushing the idea. There are groups talking about unionizing college athletes.
I agree, it would turn the current college athletics model upside down. As you allude there is no way a school like ISU could equally pay its 400 men's & women's student athletes. But it goes beyond pay. Liability issues would huge. Think about the NFL concussion payments. Do college presidents want that type of liability? How about lifetime medical costs for injured athletes?
Thats why I think university Presidents will have to decide how important are college athletics to achieving their core mission and maintaining strong alumni support.
Could school's spin-off their athletic departments or maybe just FB & MBB to avoid Title IX compliance?
What is wrong with the system?
My only issue is that unlike the professional leagues, there are no rules. That works okay in the short term, and is a boon for current players. But would there be as much money to be made by players if those leagues had no salary caps, no free agency rules etc?
Is it credible? He states “source”.. don’t journalist need two “sources” to be credible?
Unless he talked to Hunter himself… I doubt that happened.
The thread title should just be the Leslie Nielsen "nothing to see here, please disperse" gif from Naked Gun.
My personal opinion is they aren’t going to report it until a coach or the player confirms it
He's a college kid that has something better to do on a Friday night? Unfortunately, none of us has anything better to do.
THIS. Regardless of what happens with Tyrese, this is just the tip of the iceberg of what is coming. This will become a worse problem than the transfer portal in no time. It really could be the end of college athletics. It absolutely sucks and becomes nearly unwatchable.
