You will start seeing a major uptick in multi-time transfers entering the portal next week In guidance sent to schools by the NCAA last week, multi-time transfers can enter and be eligible to play at new school in 2024-25 without a waiver.  |

It is ridiculous but at this point who cares. In my opinion, this whole portal thing and NIL thing is going to backfire on the NCAA. I for one am losing interest in college football and do not want to support any of this nonsense. Attendance at college football games has been falling for decades and this is just another nail in the coffin in my opinion. I really can’t stand these kids who transfer and then post that they will always be a Catamount or Paladin or whatever after they leave their previous school. I have news for them. No one else thinks that. If you leave Western, you are no longer a Catamount or whatever school you left. I could care less about what happens to them after they choose to leave. They have moved on and we should too. To quote a wise man, they are dead to me.

They have moved on and we should too. To quote a wise man, they are dead to me. This and the fact that the ncaa wants to let the P5 schools have basically unlimited cash to pay players is almost enought to turn off of college sports totally and especially football. I have already cut way, way back on watching or following any college football teams other than WCU during the last several years. This may be the final straw for me. I can appreciate the effort and work these kids put forth while here but I find it hard to disagree that if they leave, I could not care less what happens to them. If they were truly "always ....Catamount" or whoever, leaving is a strange way to show it as you have now turned your back on your previous school in exchange for nothing but money. |

Trust me, the NCAA wants to do none of this, it's being forced on them by lawsuits, and the threat of the P5 schools to leave the NCAA. They are trying to dip water out of their sinking ship.
Football will not be the same in several years. One theory is that the P5 schools will move "football" out of the NCAA's control, and appoint a commissioner for P5 football only. Schools such as those in the SEC could remain in the SEC for every sport except football, still under the NCAA umbrella, the NCAA would agree as they don't want to lose the golden goose "basketball tournament" and the millions it brings in to the NCAA. P5 football would be under a commissioner, with all the football members playing as independents, and their ruling body would create schedules for those teams each season. This organization would also set up some way for these football schools to "pay" their student athletes for playing football.
My personal opinion is that Title IX would prevent this from happening, at least the paying of male football players, unless they come up with a way to pay an equal number of female athletes.
