The other day, I gave social media readers and fans the ability to communicate about how they would be replaced in sports.
You intervened in everything from Saturday’s Super Bowl game to the elimination of instant replay. From banning parents from reprimanding referees and referees to getting rid of regulations banning television.
Now it’s my turn.
I refer to the university moving portal, and through the extension of name, symbol and similarity (NIL), because the two are very related. And not for the better.
Before I dig deeper, I reaffirm my confidence that the portal and NIL are innovations over the replaced perception that only school athletes should be noticed and not listened to. The NCAA, school departments of athletics and boxing, and college bank accounts have benefited for too long from athletes. – basically in football and basketball – filling their coffers with cash while the “student-athletes” contributed the labor.
NIL: Will the NCAA punish schools for “outrageous” VIOLATIONS of the NILE?Big questions remain after the most recent recommendations
Transfer Portal: The NCAA Transfer Portal is fair, equitable, and absolutely out of place | Opinion
The portal, powered by the relatively new single moving rule that grants immediate eligibility, gives athletes something about their destination and better protects them from malicious coaches trying to block moves to fast schools.
NIL allows athletes to put a price on their identity and personality. In addition to receiving scholarships, athletes can gain financial and material advantages by offering a fee, either receiving $1 million to approve an energy drink or $500 to help organize a summer camp.

In that sense, NIL will have to stick to the original plan, in which the Americans are paid for the facilities borrowed, and not jointly (for example, the entire offensive line) just to be on the team. It would also ban NIL bills until you are recruited and taking courses.
But enough of NIL. Il, there will be many more opportunities to criticize it to death as its tentacles expand into unforeseen sources of income streams and gaps are filled through ego-driven drivers. I on the move portal.
The proposed adjustments come with a fundamental and non-negotiable element: university sports remain amateur events, which means that academics are vital and that there will have to be a transparent line between university and professional competitions. I don’t need school football and basketball for even more of a minor league for the NFL and nba. If the only distinctions between football and amateur and professional basketball are the half-time display of fanfare and a far-fetched student section, then it’s time to close the store.
College athletes are students, not independent adults. Call me an old-school progressive, but while I approve of expanding economic opportunity for school athletes, there are rules that separate professionals from amateurs.
And with that, my plan for the movement formula and preventing school sports from fitting into the Wild West:
• Eliminate immediate eligibility, in cases of excessive intellectual fitness problems or family tragedy, in which case athletes would possibly apply to leave one school and play without delay in another.

Sitting down a year after the transfer, which was the case before the 2021 rule change, serves several purposes. First of all, it discourages transfer, which is good. appearance of the fence. Considering the total number of college transfers (over 2000 entered the FBS portal in 2021-22), only 49% of Division I athletes actually find a new school to play in, while 43% are still looking for either transfer to a non-NCAA school or have left their sport, and 7% have been removed from the portal, according to the NCAA Transfer Panel.
Sitting down a year after the move would protect against athletes making impulsive emotional decisions. It also allows them to adapt to campus life, either educationally and culturally, at their new school. (Graduate moves, who have demonstrated their educational ability, deserve prompt eligibility. )
Reinstating the one-year absence rule would also deter schools from stealing players. If the goal is to win now, having to wait a season to become eligible wouldn’t be worth chasing the athlete.
My progressive aspect balances the exclusion rule by adding an eligibility season at the end of an athlete’s career and making an exception for training changes. Graduated in a 4-year aspect, an athlete is entitled to the lost season. In this way, the move can still be redshirt and have 4 seasons of eligibility.
• Designate shorter moving windows twice a year, open until one month after the season and back in the expired spring. You don’t want to enter the portal when an athlete wants to. Structure is clever when it prevents chaos.
• Create one-week windows in which athletes can be transferred and play without delay if a head coach is fired. This deserves the school to think twice before prematurely firing their coach. The window also allows the school to convince players that it is in their most productive interest to stay. If a coach is going to look for another job, he can’t manipulate the players on the list of the school he left.
That’s the only thing I would replace in school football. Make the movement less attractive, but too punitive. Let the genuine signature loose to the NFL.
