How $$$ for only a year

[Wag Tag]

Ewers draft stock has dropped, believing he wil play one more year the bidding has begun. Oregon has offered $4m! Maybe our qb plan one and done is not so bad?

Hate to say it but I'll agree with Rhett Lashlee. Make the transfer portal after the spring semester since that's the official end of the academic year. It would bring back some of the focus on academics, allow teams to focus on bowls/playoffs, and I think would even incentive remaining at the existing school. How much can you really move up a depth chart when you transfer in the summer?

Or at least levy significant penalties if leaving before the end of the academic year.  Like lose a year of eligibility, etc.

Like so many they always refuse not to play in a bowl. Then enter.

Hold up grades. If you owe money to UNIVERSITY they will not release grades This would stop some players from doing this. Honor your commitment.

But they sat down and had discussions and communicate all glory to God.  We must respect their decision.

It appears that the new commitment is for one season and only if you get the NIL money you were promised.

Seems like a lot of coaches take new jobs right before bowl games.

Coaches aren't generally also students.
