The problem with these NIL contracts is that the players are not really being paid to play, they are being paid to represent.

Student Athlete NIL Deal Do’s and Don’ts

Student athletes’ ability to profit from their name, image and likeness (NIL) opens a world of new opportunities for both the athletes and businesses. If your company is considering an NIL deal, keep…

These NIL deals are similar to performing arts, singers, musicians, dancers, actors than labor unions or the NFL. And that's probably how it should be.

Maybe, but the player actually told Dabo that an Ole Miss employee emailed him a contract to sign for $2million for 2 years. The kid already signed a contract with CLEMSON , was enrolled in Clemson, attending class and in the offseason training program. , then left for Ole Miss. why even have a transfer portal if the kid is already enrolled in school and leaves? Just leave anytime you want.

Even more than all that, who offers a LB , not even a highly rated LB $2million dollars?
The On3 College Football Top Transfer Portal Player rankings list Ferrelli as the 443rd-ranked player nationally. He’s also the 39th-ranked linebacker. It was on January 6th when he initially committed to transfer to Clemson.
Ferrelli played his high school football at Carlsbadin California. There, he was a three-star recruit in the Class of 2024. He had been the 1,413th-ranked player overall and the 134th-ranked linebacker in that recruiting cycle.

Why do I have to tell the world I want to transfer before I transfer? If I know where I want to go what cant I just go there? Coaches dont put themselves in portal to move to another job.

No; but their contracts have consequences. As should the player contracts.

Similar to the Xavier Lucas case with Wisconsin last year. Lucas signed an NIL agreement with Wisconsin. Miami reached out and convinced him to transfer. Wisconsin refused to enter him in the portal. Lucas then left school and enrolled at Miami the following semester. NCAA was unable to prevent his transfer because “unenrolled” at Wisconsin he was no longer “student athlete” and free to enroll anywhere.

Wisconsin is still moving forward with its lawsuit against Miami for tampering, Wisconsin is claiming that Miami knowingly interfered with their binding contract with Lucas. Last I read they were in the discovery phase still.

The idea that having a one time portal window will prevent transfers any other time isn’t necessarily true. If a player leaves school, leaving his scholarship behind, the NCAA is powerless to stop him, nor can they prevent him from enrolling elsewhere.

They have a much higher average rating per recruit. Based on that, Notre Dame has the best transfer class in the country, and it's really not even close. Hard to argue with it because their lowest ranked player is 109, and 2nd lowest is 60. It's hard to really evaluate these classes properly because different teams have different goals in the portal. Some teams are just looking to fill the gaps, and others are looking to build an entire team.

They're going to need all those stars for the meatgrinder that is their schedule this year.

Golding wouldn’t know a good linebacker if he bit him in the fanny. And if he had a good linebacker he’d turn him into a limp noodle in short order.
