Orange Bowl fiasco

[captjoe388]

if you saw the pitiful Ohio St game and were less than enthused ,you may not want to watch this one. #5 ranked Florida St is getting 21' points, and that might not be enough, 20 player defections including the #2 QB. Read an article that ESPN is pissed. As a long time FSU fan .so am I the last red season game Noles used the #3 QB and if not for the great defense would have lost. well i see a repeat here similar to Ohio St's problem -a QB that cant provide any offense,and a defense that will eventually wear down. easy solution to avoid putting teams in these situations "close the transfer portal window and NFL until the team has played it bowl.

Something needs to be done!! If you have a scholarship to play football then play until the season is over.

Too much sense, capt. I played the over hoping GA covers it alone.

impossible to do because the next semester at the new school starts in January and you're not giving the kid enough time to make the right decision especially the ones in the playoffs. there is no good solution unless you make the kid be active for his bowl game even if he's committed to a new school for the spring semester. the two things I didn't expect from NIL was kids jumping to new school every year (think Slovis will be on 4th school next year, DJU on 3rd, Jurkovec on 4th if he moves along) ... and kids that are NFL caliber moving to a new team for a season for NIL money even though they are eligible for NFL draft. There's no reason for QB like Leonard and Jefferson to extend college but they know they will make $1-2M in NIL money whereas they'd make $700k as a 5th rounder

I've said for years, way before the portal was even a thing

All college sports scholarships should be written as college loans. Those loans would be forgiven upon graduation from that university. If you don't stay and graduate, you pay for your college.

Will never happen but....

why is college hoops able to do it? you don't see kids opting out prior to the tournament.

Apples to oranges comparison.. much smaller injury risk in hoops than football
