So LSU is out

 

[IrishRazor82]

Most predictably terrible policy outside of anything Biden/Harris have done. Absolutely blowing up in the NCAA's face, and everyone saw this coming.

USC has a crappy O line and their receivers room makes ND look good.

​​​​​​MY guess would be TAMU

I really think transfering needs to return to a harder stance as well. With rare exception should a student not have to sit out a year. Of course I also want to see the early signing period go away. I think it has lead us to the efforts to fire coaches mid season.

A&M just grabbed Max Johnson from the portal a couple weeks ago.

I still have no idea what the early signing period was supposed to accomplish.

It's most likely going to be Georgia, IMO

There has to be some cost. Half a season of inelligibilility.

As much as I thought the old rule was kind of crap, grads being able to transfer as long as they new school had the degree you wanted and the old one didn't I was somewhat on board. Yeah I figured they were simply working the system, but what can you do. Now, as someone else said, college football is the wild west of sports. Kids moving anywhere, anytime. Coaching moving or fired anywhere and anytime. Add on the NIL and NCAA's new hands off approach I am really for the first time concerned about the future of a sport I enjoy this much.

Offensive Recruiting director Dre Brown recently followed Caleb LOL. Shoot your shot coach.

Now everyone has an opportunity to show Carl how well they'll "prepare" his son.

Honestly, what’s the big problem with the transfer rule? It kinda makes things more exciting from a purely entertainment perspective. Much like free agency in other sports, it creates buzz in the normally boring off season. Not like most of these schools care about the education part of the equation anyway.

Contracts contain terms and buyouts so the parties involved can reliably plan for the future. It's very hard to run a successful organization, especially in a directly competitive environment like the NFL or CFB, when your key people can be bought out from under you by rivals at any moment and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t almost all football scholarships one year renewable deals? I know some schools, like ND, guarantee them for four but that’s not the norm.

Just because it’s “hard” on the coaches doesn’t mean athletes shouldn’t be allowed to transfer. It’s hard on them when coaches bail.

Spot on without even hitting on the #1 priority of graduating on time with an actual degree that was completely paid for. Weren’t there like 1,000 players in the portal last year? Not all of them find a home and it’s talent and education wasted. Over 95% of college football players don’t go to the NFL and all of this is completely lost in the player empowerment movement.

The genie is out of the bottle as far as transfers are concerned. There’s no going back

Jeez if they are taking Gabriel Oklahoma has dropped massively as a QB destination.

 

[IrishSpartan]

Malik reached out to Caleb and he said no. Said he was never even recruited by us in HS and was upset about that.

Lebby recruited Gabriel. Was very good in the Lebby/Heupel offense in 2019 - 2020

Good one Rees.

It seemed like this was inevitable once the players started manipulating the hardship waiver process. I don’t think the NCAA wanted to fight every Justin Fields type case. Players got smart (or at least the lawyers they hired were) and found out how to circumvent the system. Making a one time free transfer rule was the easiest solution. May not be the best but we’ll see.

FWIW, it was absurd that we never recruited him. Truly absurd. But I do get that we thought we had two very good prospects to choose between in Buchner and McCarthy. It was an odd year.

One of the biggest failings of the Kelly era was how little he did building relationships in the WCAC. It’s a Catholic conference and probably the second or third best overall sports conference in the United States. Just loaded with talent every year; tons of Notre Dame fans working in these schools; and no regional power to compete with. Penn State spends a shitton of time and energy down here and I can’t remember the last time I saw an ND coach.

New OU OC. Has been at Ole Miss for 2 years after being at UCF

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Clemson lost their associate head coach Todd Bates. Oklahoma bound looks like.
