Quite frankly, I’m watching this recruiting board more than ever. Love it or hate it, this is some high stakes drama !
Anyone else agree ?

It has to be capped at some point but it’s very entertaining

Of course it’s great when it’s in our favor.

Overall it’s ruining a great sport. JMO

I love it. Best thing they can do is push back signing day to Feb like the old days and open the TP after Spring practice.

Will sill require a waiver for EEs but thats currently the system as is.

Maybe a cap on the amount of times you can transfer, but seems problematic (too many possible loopholes).

More drama for sure. But makes me care a lot less regarding wins, losses. Spend less $ traveling for it as well.

I'm just thankful we're on the side of the haves, and not the have-nots.

May be unpopular but I love it. For 2 weeks every year, it’s basically the Wild West and anything goes.

This! It's going to be frustrating and fun until this process becomes stable.

It’s not sustainable. We’ll be the beneficiaries because it does make it 10x easier to rebuild a roster year to year especially during a coaching change.

But it’s ruining the sport, and it’s ruining a lot of these kids in the process. There’s no loyalty & learning through adversity anymore, it’s all about who writes the biggest check.

Yea this is way more fun to follow than ESD or the traditional signing day from 15 years ago.

It is funny seeing people whining “but muh bayou bash!!1”

I’m with you. I don’t pay NIL and I watch sports for entertainment. Can’t say this isn’t entertaining.

College football needs a negotiated salary cap to maintain competitive balance.

College football needs to reduce transfer opportunities to reduce fan alienation caused by lack of player continuity and loss of player-team identity. Fans need time to invest in players.
