**22/23 Transfer Portal Thread**

[Dr. Zaius]

Portal Kirk is here to take us to the promised land

 

[Hawkeye_Pierce]

I often have trouble processing paradigm shifts, but it seems dumb to affiliate these players with a “school” anymore. What’s the point? It’s absurd. “Yes, we’re paying him $3m/yr but he’s outta here if he doesn’t get that Econ grade up.”

the cognitive dissonance, it burns us!

I’m curious what these NIL deals look like. Are they incentive-laden? Guaranteed? Do they get paid in full upfront or on installment? I can't imagine the typical 18 year old with a million burning a hole in their pocket is going to make the best decisions. Also, from a team aspect, I'd imagine it might cause a few rifts. Imagine if Iowa still had some redass killers on the line and Kadyn Proctor, who has done really nothing to this point, walked in the door as a newly minted millionaire.

 

[MikeyJoe]

This is all dumb as shit so I'd like to just skip to the part where we hopefully learn better players are coming to Iowa thanks.

Football players on scooters will be a distant memory. Scooters are still cool, though.

 

[OlePeep]

I’m generally a “It’ll work itself out” kind of person, but the fundamental elements of big time “college” athletics after this change may be irreconcilable in my feeble mind.

I’ll never forget that video of Josh Koeppel getting destroyed on a scooter and popping right back up

His shoe went 30 feet in the air

There has to be some rules that allow for predictability. I don’t see how that can be done in the confines of the NCAA

This is where I see the problem.

How do you explain to a guy like Cooper DeJean that the WR from Alabama is going to get more than he does?

 

[BVHawk95]

Usually that's a death sentence

 

[Shawneemicks]

As it stands today, if you’re a for sure P5 level player you probably should use the portal once to git all you can git

 

[Harlan]

This is where I see the problem.

How do you explain to a guy like Cooper DeJean that the WR from Alabama is going to get more than he does?

Is there an avenue for players like DeJean to approach the Iowa collective?

 

[Shawneemicks]

Put Shawnee in as the P5 commissioner and all the problems get fixed in about 7 minutes.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

At that point, why waste money on players coming in as freshmen that are just going to leave in a year or two?

 

[cloudhawk]

I'm assuming like Keegan Johnson

 

[CamelTones]

Pretty sure DeJean got a pretty good sponsorship deal from Midwest One Bank.

 

[Shawneemicks]

If you have the means that’s what I’d expect the top dogs to do in addition to the top 5-10 hs kids in each class.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I could see a place like Ohio st/Alabama sign ~ 10 hs kid & 10 portal guys every year.
At Iowa probably more like 15 hs/5 portal on average

 

[ivan_drago]

And a nice Jeep from a car dealership, all before he ever took a snap. He’s doing just fine.

 

[Judge Kemp]

You have to keep signing full classes even at P5 level, because no team is going to be immune to guys hitting the portal. You can’t sign 10, portal 10 and lose 5 every year.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I understand that but thank you

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Exactly. Instead coaches will do a nice house Creaning every year to open up spots when portal season comes a calling.

 

[The Full Monte]

This is essentially Fran’s stance. Not throwing $250k at a kid in the portal when he has a potential AA sitting on his team currently making way less.

It makes sense to me.

There are plenty of other schools writing massive checks and dealing with some serious fallout at the moment inside the football offices

 

[Kamala]

I hope all you paytheplayerstards are happy now.

 

[The Full Monte]

The difficulty is that there are no F’n rules with this.

The way it’s being done at some other programs; the “collective” is essentially divided among all the players. Then when coach has a transfer or recruit they want to land….they’re calling up a booster and saying “hey, how about doing an NIL deal for this guy?”

3rd parties get involved and help hammer out details of the contract. The issue that arises is that currently, the “rule” for these deals is absolutely non-existent. Technically, they have to provide “something” in return, but there is no guidance on what/how much and zero oversight from the NCAA.

Kirk calls up Mr Hawk and says “hey, we really want to keep KP. Need a million bucks.” Mr Hawk says sweet, here’s the million. Have him make 3 posts on Halo each month.” And we’re done.

@ditd can you confirm?

 

[CamelTones]

 

[Hawkstrat]

A guy who seems to legitimately know stuff, claims Oregon "put a lot of money" in front of Jacobs.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

THE PLAYERS SHOULD BE PAID!!

 

[Silky Johnson]

Do we think the amounts being given to guys are going to stay this high forever? Or is it an initial overreaction that will pull back once more schools have Texas A&M style disappointments with loaded rosters?

I assume what guys were being paid before it was allowed is less than what we’re hearing now, and I find it kinda hard to believe that boosters will do this year after year while schools rake in the TV money.

 

[Pipiyopee]

The players should be paid. It should be more structured. We went from, “they should just be happy with a scholarship, a meal plan and pussy” to “back up the money trucks”. Because we are a retarded people.

 

[HiG 2.0]

I hope Casey’s locations will be selling MacNamara and Cheese this fall.

But seriously how the fuck do schools compete with Oregon/Nike at this point?

 

[cloudhawk]

Quit signing Nike deals for one

 

[HiG 2.0]

Quit signing Nike deals for one

Good point.

 

[gable_guy]

 

[Creed]

 

[Grape Ape]

What a fag

 

[Alan Lomax]

It’s total free agency, EVERYONE should put their name in. See what you’re worth, and if that’s worth it to you.

 

[PAULA CLARK]

This is like the wild West when the internet was invented, and MP3's could freely enter the portal and transfer themselves to your hard drive.

Well I've always called them the Oregon Buttpirates

 

[The Full Monte]

That BLOWWWWSSSS

 

[PoopyFaceTomatoNose]

So these big money schools are just going to pick through everyone roster year after year? This shits gonna get old real quick.

 

[douglasbader]

I'm not crying over Jacobs because a) he could never stay healthy and wasn't all that great when he was and b) Iowa is going to be very desirable for some transfer portal LB's

 

[douglasbader]

Hey, blame people that LOL'd this shit and said it wouldn't be any big deal. I think our bald friend F&B was one of them.

 

[CamelTones]

Looks like balls are being rubbed for Holden to Iowa.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

At SOME point this has to settle down, yes? Even super rich donors will get tired of throwing millions at players that either don't pan out or leave first chance they can and it will reign itself in?

 

[BillyBob]

Part of me feels sad that Kurt has to deal with this portal bullshit. This faggotry is beneath him.

Then I remember he hired his fat dipshit kid as OC.

 

[PoopyFaceTomatoNose]

It’s cool, as long as Peter Johnson pledges $200/year to support some schools NIL their program will be saved!

 

[cloudhawk]

I would think there would be some contractual language and commitments that would eventually come with some of these deals

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

So these big money schools are just going to pick through everyone roster year after year? This shits gonna get old real quick.

It will be like the Yankees but on steroids. The only hope is that it pulls back a little bit over the next few years when teams don't perform to the expectations of the money being spent.
