Just saw this tid bit. Former Auburn Coach Tommy Tuberville has (or plans to) introduce a bill to reign in all the transfer portal madness.
"Alabama senator and former college football head coach Tommy Tuberville introduced a new bill that would place limits on NCAA eligibility and help curb some of the chaos across college sports due to the emergence of the transfer portal and the way NIL has been used to entice players to transfer. Tuberville’s bill would set eligibility limits at 5 consecutive years of play or 5 consecutive seasons. Athletes could transfer once; additional transfers would require sitting out a year."
In addition: he said " “That’s why I’m introducing a bill that would allow student-athletes to transfer 1 time without penalty, no questions asked. After that, if you choose to transfer, you sit out a year. It’s simple,” he added. It is also worth noting that Tuberville said current policies allow movement that resembles “unrestricted free agency rather than amateur competition” and added in an interview with Outkick that athletes are “selling themselves” for the money rather than buying into a program.
If this were in place would it have helped the Pokes retain talent? I am looking for an impact player that transferred to Wyo then out to a second (or third school)...any thoughts?
