The PORTAL must go away!!!


Jun 5, 2019, 10:23 PM

I get that we live in a disposable world and everyone wants to be a free agent. But, enough is enough. Loyalty and commitment must reign supreme!

Ban the PORTAL!!!

I just don’t know if it’s effecting is as bad as people think it is.

We are getting who we want and the most competitive are staying. I think that Dabo has built a culture that most understand and want to stay a part of. Our starters aren’t the ones transferring. KB knew he was getting beat out. Feaster knows he isn’t the feature back and others are nipping at his heels. Though I will say I loved watching feaster and hoped to watch more. He was quick enough to take it to the house on most plays if blocks broke the right way. We aren’t losing a Trevor Lawrence or Travis Etienne. Most/all people in our world are transferring to a less competitive team.

As long as coaches get to leave whenever they want, players should be able to. The coaches incur a penalty (buyout) and the players should have to sit out a year. What should not be allowed under any circumstances is the school dictating where a player can transfer to.

Why shouldn't a school be able to dictate it? Have you ever heard of a Non Compete Clause?

Are the players professionals or not? You seem to be confused. You want to treat the players like employees, then the school has to open up the wallet. Plus coaches don't have the same non-compete clause, and they ARE employees.

A contract doesn't require employees, neither do laws,


Jun 7, 2019, 12:34 PM

bylaws, rules or guidelines; that's as stupid a thing as I've read on TigerNet.

Have you ever heard of a non complete clause in sports though? Coaches have buyouts, but I've never heard of any contract stating they must sit out for a year if they change schools, or that they aren't allowed to go to certain schools. Dabo has a higher buyout if he goes to Bama, but there's nothing preventing him from going there, and it's the other school that ends up paying the buyout for the coaches anyway.

Not the same. You can transfer and leave your team in a very awkward position depth wise. That doesn't happen if a coach leaves after a season.

I personally think people are freaking out too much over the transfer portal. Players have always transferred. The only real difference is that now a graduate can transfer anywhere without having to sit out a year. If a non graduate wanted to transfer then he'd still have to sit out a year just like Johnson had to last year, which is the same as it's always been.

In fact, it's always been so common that coaches and fans would count on 2-3 happening per year in order to open up extra spots for incoming recruits.

As far as loyalty goes. It's funny to me how every time a player transfers, fans bash them, say they're afraid of competing, and have no loyalty, but coaches don't get that same treatment at all.

I don't recall seeing anyone on here say Brent Venables was scared of competing for his DC job at Oklahoma when he was named co-defensive coordinator, and I don't remember seeing anyone say he had no loyalty for leaving them for us.
