RE: Five biggest losers from the college football transfer portal thus far
I think Louisiana's run of dominance in the SBC west could come to an end in 2022. I believe A-State, South, and Troy (if we play in the west) will really push you guys this coming year and since you guys are weakened it could finally be the year somebody topples your kingdom. Not saying it will happen but I think the possibility is real.

I'm not sure we'll be improved much this year. The bottom kind of fell out and we're starting over. That doesn't happen in year 2 most of the time. The cajuns had some depth and are in a prime recruiting area. Couple that with the success and they'll find players.
RE: Five biggest losers from the college football transfer portal thus far
As someone stated on the Herdfans board, neither NIL nor the transfer portal are a big deal by themselves. But together it's a recipe for disaster. I'm just glad it's hurting the big boys just as much, if not more. I mean, theoretically, Nick Saban could say something the team didn't like. They could ALL transfer out and they would likely all find homes and get paid to do so. Alabama couldn't field a team. When the students collectively realize the power they wield together things will get ugly. Don't like the coach? Threaten to leave as a unit. Force the hand. When Missouri players were boycotting that one year or two, now they could have gotten their way by threatening to leave all at once instead of the program threatening to kick them out if they didn't comply. They have all the power because you can't rebuild an entire program in less than a year. I doubt I'm the only one that's thought of this and it's just a matter of time.
Not as likely to happen at a G5 because most of those players aren't guaranteed a spot somewhere. The comments in that article mentioned that 26 players and counting have left Colorado. That's a quarter of their team.

Still a bit surprised they announced the Coastal series to start as soon as next season and didn't push back any. That's usually not the P5 way. A bit of a head scratcher, even before Mendenhall left and even more so now.

True, but since the Cavs are rarely in contention for anything football, it doesn't rise to the level of loss.
They were in the ACC Championship game just two seasons ago too. Probably says more about that league than them though. They got absolutely slaughtered in that game.

Given this is the first cycle of transfers/recruits that could be persuaded by NIL through an entire recruiting cycle and transfer without penalty, the impact of the two changes are magnified this year and there will be a diminishing returns curve. If Caleb Williams had shopped an NIL deal for his entire HS recruitment, he might not have ended up at Oklahoma. Now that he is leaving, he is using up his freebie and the crazy circus effectively ends this year for him. Quinn Ewers' circus was even crazier and its effectively already taken down the tent. 26 guys might have left UVA this year, but a small fraction of them will transfer again. Also these new NIL deals are going out to tie transfers, and specifically HS recruits, into multiple year deals to limit the potential of jumping ship again.
Don't forget the impact of COVID on 6th years of eligibility and schools cancelling 2020 seasons because basically all h3ll broke loose these last two seasons. It will calm down. There will certainty be more than 5 years ago as the P5 backup can immediately start at a G5 and doesn't have to take off a year or transfer down to FCS but it will stabilize in a couple years.

It's gonna come down the the IRS stepping in. It won't be Congress and the Supreme Court started half this mess so it won't be them either. They can't walk that dog backwards.

huh?! scotus ruled on the matter ... they didn't start any part of this ... they ended it...
and last time I checked, it's congress that dictates how/whether income is taxable and determines the rate ... it's the IRS that enforces the laws created by congress...
so, no, it won't be the IRS creating the laws that are most certainly to follow based on the scotus' ruling in the next couple of years...
Quote:Congress has delegated to the IRS the responsibility of administering the tax laws known as the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and found in Title 26 of the United States Code. Congress enacts these tax laws, and the IRS enforces them.

The P5 scrapes the cream from the top of the G5 to fill gaps.
The occasional G5 transfer enters the portal and lands in the P5 and "may" start.
Every P5 entering the portal landing in the G5 is pretty much guaranteed a starting spot increasing his chances of getting noticed.
Football is so data driven that mediocrity based on the numbers no matter where you play gets little if any attention.
Be a standout at say GS or whoever vs a warm body at say UNC or Duke or whoever?
What would you do? Or what would you do if your smart?
That was true before NIL. But now that most if not all of these players will be getting paid to sit the bench at a P5, I don’t see many of them transferring and giving up that paycheck.

October 19th 2017 is last time we lost a western division game. Not saying we won’t drop games but I don’t think this train is coming off the tracks or being toppled. 15 of our starters this year were recruited by mark hudspeth, Napier’s recruits haven’t started yet. CMD said in his press conference, this roster was built the right way and we don’t need to Raid the portal. Also you have to get back to 85 scholarships this year. A 13-1 championship team that had tremendous depth, that needs to cut to 85 won’t be bringing in a ton of transfers. We most likely lose the same guys if Napier stays and nobody would be saying anything about is being toppled.
