It needs to be fixed but the last thing we want is the fed government involved . Go back to you have to sit out a year upon transferring would help. Maybe a salary cap would be worth considering as well?

A year to sit out would do wonders. It's crazy right now across all sports.

Agree. I also think the conferences can add to that transfer ban for in-conference transfers. Also helps to tamp down active poaching of players.

If college football does not want the federal government to step in, then the conferences need to get off their asses and do something about it.

Of course but they won't. Slive was a Commissioner that not only protected his conference, he cared about the sport.

Sankey is a bean counter. Current B1G commissioner is also a bean counter. ACC commissioner is just stupid all around. Big XII has zero influence.

The biggest thing they can do to "fix" college football is change the calendar.

The National Championship Game on Jan 10th.
One week portal window opens Jan 11th.
Return signing day to first Wednesday in February.
Second portal window first two weeks of April.

That alone would end midseason firing of coaches because the need to have the new coach building next year's roster would trump the need for that guy to coach his current team in the playoffs.

The rest we can figure out after next year starts at the end of this year.

You should post this as a topic on premium or
The zoo. Don't have time to check if the dates you threw out I completely agree with. But I'm a big "fix the system to a point where "the best thing/decision for players and coaches" is aligns with what's good for CFB in general." Guy.

Will never be perfect but we should at least strive to structure it as best that way possible.

I've posted several times I won't fault players or coaches for doing what's best for them. Make the obvious decisions aligned is what we should focus on.

IMHO. I'm an armchair dude after all. Edit: I'm good at rambling and tried to semi clean it up.

They need to change something so coaching staffs aren't deserting their playoff bound teams.

College football is just crazy all around right now.

College football is begging the federal government to get involved.

That's the way they can "do something about it" without losing another antitrust lawsuit or violating state NIL laws

Then I guess we will get government mandated football.

There is a permanent injunction in place that says they can't.

A salary cap just takes you back to the days of gold Trans-Ams and hay bales stuffed with cash.

Aware of that. It doesn't negate the point that not sitting out a year generates turmoil. I know young athletes and schools don't like it but part of sports training is developing discipline and character.

Yes. I thought about that and I agree to some degree. . . I don't know the answer but the money aspect of it is just crazy imo

I was discussing with a friend of mine and his question was how does the NFL do it? couldn't they also get around the salary cap in a similar way but you don't hear anything about that.

Can you expand upon the injunction a bit ? I suspect it has something to do with denying people getting their fair market value but would like to know more .
