I just can’t fathom going to 4 different schools over 4 different years, regardless of the cash. Is there any evidence of anyone campus hopping and getting drafted high? Making an impact in the league? Maybe that’s why they do it. Getting all the money they can because they know it’ll be gone in 12 months.

Is it even possible to have transfer credits from 3 different schools in 3 years when you are just enrolling in the fall semester?

This has to get fixed. Not a PSU fan by any means, but this could happen to anyone. It’s all about me, me, me. Probably why I doubt I’ll watch any of the playoffs unless something else is not on or it’s raining outside.

I don't really see a problem with this. It will be a very small handful of players who go into the Portal from a CFP that actually had a part in that Team's season. If they want to be a Part of Spring Ball then need to be enrolled in the Spring Semester.

As to the Bowl Games, there are so many that if a Team can't field a team then ther are too many Bowl Games to start with.

Not really. The unintened consequences is that players who are transferring multiple times before they graduate will never have enough credits to get a degree. They lose many of the credits they accumulated when they transfer and have to start over in a new degree program at the next school.

Then my belief is this was the plan all along. Height doesn’t want his degree and we needed a plug and play DE. He most likely didn’t participate in too much school

If you don’t change majors it’s easier to get GT transfer credits to count toward degree requirements at most other schools than the other way around.

Is the playoff vs transfer portal timing thing a bit of spite on the NCAA’s part since D1-A CFB doesn’t let the NCAA run a tournament itself and keep any of that cash?

Too conspiracy-ish? But why is there even a winter portal at all? Basketball plays during both semesters and seems fine without two portal windows.

WE are seeing in real time the costs of playing with the big boys in the new world of college sports and trying to keep your "team" together.We now have probably lost 2 of the 6 most important players on the team that was going to be a real conference power next yr. .

It's not a big problem if we go back to the requirement to sit a year. That would do a lot to slow down this runaway train.

Lawyers would just file a lawsuit. NCAA tried to limit it to one transfer without sitting but had to sit out a year on the next. UNC filed a lawsuit for Tes Walker and he played. It was at least his 3rd school and maybe his 4th. UNC claimed it was affecting his mental health. LOL.
The whole thing is now just a money grab. Maybe Height didn't want to play in a bowl game but likely shopping for money. Could be some tampering but no way to prove or enforce. Sorry he is leaving. Good player.
