From Albany to Miami U

Reese Poffenbarger goes in the portal and comes out at the "U". Not to shabby of an outcome for him.
The NCAA's hands are tied on this. The last semblance of a rule discouraging multiple-time transfers was the NCAA's transfer eligibility rule, which required players who transferred for a second time (or more) to sit out a year of competition unless they obtained a waiver. Several U.S. states filed suit in federal court last month on behalf of student-athletes alleging the rule violated federal antitrust law, and the judge issued a preliminary ruling in which he essentially found that the rule likely violated the Sherman Act. The NCAA then stipulated to suspend enforcement of the rule until the case is resolved.Bluewyn Gold wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 4:22 pm The carousel that is his college career continues - from ODU to SUNY-Albany and now to Miami.

I'm all for players getting the opportunity to move if a situation doesn't work for them, but this type of untethered freedom is probably not in the best interests of college football over the longer term. At some point, I think we'll see common sense limitations imposed by the conferences, followed by a court challenge.
Complicated issue.

That might be taking it a bit too far. There will have to be adjustments to the system sooner or later and the pendulum will swing back towards protecting the best interests of the game. Boosters are the ones who pay much of the freight. If it gets too out of hand, it'll impact attendance and interest and changes will have to occur or the money won't be there to the degree it is now. Supply and demand, legal challenges or not.Baltimore Hen wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 6:10 pmit's the death of college football....pretty soon it will be totally unwatchable
