Sitting out a year was the right way to handle transfers.

I hope they find a way to fix this. In the meantime I hope we pull in every single one of these fish we want/need.

Just to add some color to this: over 3,700 D1 players entered the portal yesterday.

Not necessarily but unlimited transfers definitely ain't the way

1 free transfer, 1 extra if your coach leaves

This is where my thoughts initially go to as well. Get a free one on the house, and the next can only be done with a HC change.

For years schools had it both ways. Guys got a one year scholarship, but they couldn’t leave and play right away. They had to sit out.
If you are going to limit guys to one year scholarships then they should be able to leave and play elsewhere right away.
My solution is to give out two, three or even longer scholarships. No transferring unless the coach leaves, or both sides agree to the transfer and the guy is immediately eligible.

I would be okay with 1 transfer with no waiting period if it is to a different conference or a lower division school. Limiting to one transfer would really make kids think about it before transferring.

Maybe so. Needs to have some kind of penalty for leaving a team.
Almost every other level does.

Really outside of Saban you NEVER heard of anyone non renewing a scholarship. And even then I never heard of him doing it just people would use the term processed if anyone left.
If they were fine sitting on the bench then they could stay 4 years

Coaches that take a job elsewhere don't sit out a year.. going to be hard to enforce it on players.
My 2 cents is Let a player have 1 portal transfer that's penalty free, but any others after that must sit out 1 year each time.

I say to meet in the middle. First transfer immediate, second transfer sit a year. Third transfer must be a grad student. Otherwise every player is a one year deal.

I would even say - 1 "no harm, no foul" transfer for the player's 4+1 year eligibility period. Doesn't have to give a reason. Doesn't have to sit out. Nada. Then, another transfer if a change of head coach (HEAD COACH ONLY). Finally, if a player graduates with eligibility, a potential 3rd transfer.
I mean, if things work out, that still allows UP TO 3 transfers over a 5-year eligibility cycle, with no consequences. There is nothing there that should be "unfair", but the courts have decided that a competitive organization cannot regulate itself with competitive rules that go against the whims of teenagers.
The only alternative is a "transfer and sit" rule, in my humble opinion.

Maybe allow one transfer without sitting out. After that, you have to wait a year or be a graduate student. College free agency is going to ruin the sport

Will need a collectively bargained NIL structure to make this work. Courts will side with players maximizing their salaries every time, regardless of limits on free passes.

Allow grad transfers
you can go if you HC bails.

Need to go back to transfer equals sitting out one year. It would help this a lot. This is dumb. LSU can geographically out recruit 99% of schools. We (as LSU fans) shouldn’t want the current system.

They could make all athletes contract employees with the athletic department of each school. Separate school from sports. They could handle it more like coach contacts. Much more control.

One “free” transfer until you graduate. On the second, it’s sit a year.

I’d be cool with them holding coaches to their contracts….just have them build in higher exit penalties and it would slow that down too.
