29 states basically have laws in place that prescribe a hands-off NIL free-for-all. Good luck getting those laws changed.

More details in a post I made here.
It’s to bad that the government got involved. College sports is looking at armageddon. Unfortunately they have tied the NCAA’s hands but also the NCAA should of got out in front this a lot sooner but there is weak leadership.

Yes, they will. Easily.

There are boosters funding millions in salaries and facilities. Buying a better roster is way cheaper and better.
I see them putting up big money for star players and key contributors. I don't see them offering much the guy who will be the 95th best player on a roster. Rich boosters want to see a return for their investment, not some guy wasting away on the bench for 4 years that costs them $100k-$200k.

Transfer portal has created a Wild West for college athletics. Needs to be another adjustment. Maybe something like 1 free transfer then sit a year the second time and each time after that

You wouldn't play for more money at a different school that offered?
It would be like any job offer. Money is certainly a big part of the equation, but it isn't everything. Coaches, teammates, family, friends, location, role on the team, playing time would all factor in if I were making that decision just like if I got a job offer with more money.

Govenment got involved in 1906 (iirc) when college football was spinning out of control. NCAA was the result (iirc). Government intervention, particularly in a leadership role (T.R. Roosevelt) isn't always a bad thing.

I don't know that it'll "even out", it's not even now. I just think there are going to be a lot more transfers every year in and out of every program.

I don't think boosters paying players through NIL to go to a school but not take a scholarship spot will be sustainable in the long run. Most players still want to see the field, especially if they have NFL aspirations. I don't see most players taking NIL money to be the 90th spot on a roster if they can get a scholarship and play somewhere else. I also don't see boosters giving $20k+ to players who never see the field. They'd rather give more $$ to get the star players than worry about getting a guy to be the 4th string middle linebacker. I could be wrong though.
Just like recruits will sign with ISU over UT because we have more PT? lol

Why are you brining up guys that won't play? That is not what is being talked about. Yes, Iowa St will able to keep guys not good enough to be 2nd string at UT. That is the point.

You're nuts if you think boosters won't spend 20k for depth players. That is nothing. They spend more than that recruiting the same player.

Being closer to his family and child and he knows he can go to a big time school
I think Twins is right. Keep in mind that ISU was not Young’s first choice. He was a Penn State commit before they, and most of the other blue bloods cooled on him due to some off field issues. Since that time, Young has been great on and off the field, and the blue bloods want him again.

Really hurts to lose Isheem but we can’t complain much when we’re 10-0 and ranked 11th in basketball after winning two games last year, after retooling entirely from the portal. I have a lot of friends in Minneapolis and they were surprised and pissed when Kalscheur left and ended up at ISU. Also have to think the few Penn State fans who care about basketball were not happy about Nick Babb, Rashir Bolton and Izaiah Brockington transferring to ISU. So far I think we’re net ahead with transfers over the last several years. I just hope this is it for football and we offset the loss of these guys by picking up some good players in the portal.

Let me know when it happens, I'll waste time worrying about it then.
