I don't like this but if we did this, we should also require any coach switching jobs without being fired or expiring their contract to sit out a year before jumping ship as well. And players should get immediate eligibility for a transfer when their coach leaves.

Let’s give them all personal ball cuppers while we’re at it.

I know it sucks to have a player possibly transferring (we currently have our best 5 star talking about transferring) but honestly all this is the best thing for the players themselves. If a guy thinks he can develop more, get national attention, or get paid more then they should have the ability to leave.

This is going to go the other way too, same as you guys got brockington to anchor your team as a transfer and we got walker. These big schools will start to lose more high end recruits due to playing time issues like OSU lost ewers. NIL has only been around for like a year will take awhile for things to calm down to get a real sense of it all,

Out of curiosity do they donate to the school at all or is it just not to athletics? You are right that a lot of people view their tuition/R&B paid as more then enough donation for their lifetimes. A lot of the people I know who did donate to the university have switched to athletics now that the endowment is sitting where it is. We also had the dumb luck of having a few billionaires attend the school who are doing the bulk of the heavy lifting in athletics but the regular fan has been stepping up with CMT’s presence.
All are donors - all three contribute to the Spartan Fund, I know that. One is a member of the Downtown Coaches Club I think, and one belongs to the Rebounders Club.
I'd bet they are Alumni Assoc contributors too.

And those places have the luxury of many willing donors. ISU doesn't have that. Our big donors are very limited and the ISU Athletic Department can't afford to turn away donations and point them to NIL funds.
Not only that, but a lot of those schools also have better media revenue that allows an AD the luxury to shift money that way. ADs are going to have to make tough choices on where to steer donors.

I'm not going all the way back to figure out who mentioned it but I support the NIL sit out transfer idea being bounced around here. I'm not sure if that might mess with the supreme court stuff(not knowledgeable in law stuff at all) but that would be a very good fix while not hurting the players who are transferring for reasons more out of their control

Any coach who leaves should have to also sit out a year then, only fair.

Some of you should be careful what you say about not liking the ability to reload every year with transfers. Like it or not that is how our program is gonna stay relevant from here on out.

Traditionally we would have had to wait around for a year while all of our transfers sat out like Fred did his first year. Another way is hope your mediocre players are decent by their junior years like Iowa does.

Either way traditionally it used to be a 2-3 year rebuild if it gets rebuilt at all. McDermott failed here because he couldn’t get anything going. That was 5 years of misery if you add in the last year of Wayne Morgan.

My point is we have a staff that will be highly successful in staying relevant year to year most likely. What he did after last years disaster was remarkable only because he embraced what is now allowed. I’m thankful for that. That team was definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

Brockington wouldn't have come here if Penn State had retained their coach.

This is a very good point. While I still think the big 12 deal will be good there are no guarantees and diverting donors might not be the best move. I know lately there has been a big push to move to nil amount big ten schools but that is probably due to the absurd media deal that is coming.

I'm not sure I follow, maybe I didn't explain my point super clear. I'm not against the idea of transfers playing right away at all. People transferring for playing time, coaching changes, bad fits in systems, wanting to move up a level to have a shot at a pro career, etc should still play right away. Those are very legitimate reasons to move around and dont effect the quality of the sport

Players NIL chasing in the portal is a different story. That's a legitimate threat to competitive balance and right now its totally unchecked

Someone pays a buyout for that. If you want the athletes to have to pay a buyout to not have to sit out I’d be ok with that too.

Assistant coaches change jobs all the time without buyouts. Almost all coaches are trying to move up, why shouldn’t players be able to?

Problem is that the schools that have the better NIL money are also probably going to be the better schools to help you reach the pros. That is always going to be the excuse for leaving, bet it will be awhile before any kid says he transfers straight up for the money
