Waiting a year to play is just wrong. Then coaches can’t coach for a year when they go to another University or to the NFL for that matter.

Why? If the move is worth making, the player makes it or they do what they need to be successful at the school they are at. It would stop the round robin chain of events and make the decision a more important one.

That’s exactly how they used to do it. Change is good, transfer portal is the best thing to happen to college football in a long long time.

No tampering extended to coaches under contract. All universities required to wait until the end of the regular season to start coaching searches and should not communicate with coaches agents prior to the end of the regular season.

Conferences re-aligned to promote regional college football. Cap conference sizes at 12. If that means there's more than 5 "power" conferences then so he it.

One free transfer in the portal no exceptions. Grad transfer can still exist.

4 Team playoff using the BCS formula. Regular season matters but much less human element.

Heisman trophy absorbed into the organization and voting cannot happen before the conference championships are played.

Each conference starts and NIL endowment where the players receive a stipend (specifically from media deals and bowl payouts and not paid for by the universities at all) to entice players away from the portal.

Long time ago I’m sure folks were on forums saying how they would stop the forward pass…….just too gimmicky.

Easy. Publicly release all conference reviews of the performance of the officiating crews. Transparency is owed the fans and the programs.

Transparency needed! It's why we don't trust Govt. It's why we don't trust officiating.

I would tackle the portal first. Here are the rules I would put forth...

1. I would narrow the transfer window down considerably. I would open it the day after the national championship game is played and I would close it for each school 2 weeks after their spring practice has concluded.

2. No player may declare they are entering into the transfer portal until the team they are currently with's season is done. No more of this quitting on your team mid season nonsense! If they quit then they must sit out a season before being eligible to play again.

3. Entering the transfer portal is a one shot deal. No entering the portal multiple times in an attempt to squeeze more NIL money. If you go in you'd better damn well be sure its with the intention to transfer!

4. Transferring for immediate eligibility is also a one shot deal. Once you transfer, youre done unless you want to sit a season.

All good ideas but the portal also has to align with the academic terms - guys hitting the portal right now (December) will be enrolled in their new school before the NC game is played. The ones transferring to a bowl bound team may already be practicing with their new team - not sure but that might be happening.

I would exhaust every effort into finding anything that would force Bama to vacate the past 16 years.

Expand playoff to 8 teams

$500 monthly stipend for all student athletes. NIL money is paid out upon the athlete leaving school. If he graduates he gets 100%, 75% if he leaves early for NFL or transfers

Only 1 transfer per athlete.

Good Try!
College Football has become the NFL Minor Leagues.
Poulon Weedeater Bowl aside.......it is becoming a joke.
Offering QB 5 Million NIL Money...........to sign.
It is becoming a joke.........$$$$$$$$$
Good excuse to drink, party and rah rah for the U of choice.
If you think ANY 4 or 5 Star gives a crap less about the outcome of the games....then you are crazy.
Get enuf numbers and stay healthy for the combine and draft!!
Yeah, GBO@!!

Transfer but you sit a year. No loss of eligibility for the year sat.

All nil must be reported to the NCAA. NCAA publishes a detailed list of who, how much and for what. Collectives must be registered with the NCAA and donor lists reported and published. Sunlight on it all will bring it into much better shape immediately.

Officiating would be priority 1-10.

Rules changes regarding reviewable plays. I.E trying to claim the Ole Miss play was dead and not reviewable because the official apparently thought about blowing the whistle. There should be a ref in the booth who simply buzzes down, tells them they are wrong, and the play stands.

Any thing regarding NIL has nothing to do with laws in CFB and I find people who are against it, communist sympathizers. Because apparently they hate free market and allowing people to make their own money.

If you want to change transfers so it's harder to transfer, schools are required to make scholarships a 4/5 year deal and no renewing it or encouraging people to move along after the season. The majority of people who enter the transfer aren't doing it because they want to go, they are doing it to clear roster space because they probably aren't working out.

I'm always amazing by how many people just want everything to rest with the school and no power to be in the players hands.

I have preached this for decades. Hire professional officials. Former D2 or even D3 players who know the game and are in shape enough to be in proper position to call infractions. Get the BEST current officials to train and evaluate the new hires. It’s not as if the money isn’t there. When the fans KNOW our present officials’ names AND conference affiliations…there’s a problem. Examples: Penn Wagers and TV Ted Valentine live in my area. Off the field/court, they’re actually pleasant people to be around. Calling games, not so much

I think the transfer portal is the first thing I "fix".
The NIL is state by state and is going to take an act of congress to fix/limit.
The Playoff is not in my range of things I can fix as I do not control it.
Conference realignment has mostly already happened and I am not sure I can stop it with my new "super" powers.
Rule changes in the game are needed around Targeting so that is probably the second thing I tackle.

I disagree. The players always had the ability to transfer - they just had to sit out a year. Now it is a revolving door for players to try to find that place that can give them "one year good enough" to bolster their NFL chances verses players taking the time to learn the system and compete for a position.

I do realize that Hooker transferred and that was a good thing for him and us - but he had two years in the system and moved to an offense where his skills fit.

Some players just jump for a year or have been at more than two schools. There should only be 1 transfer allowed for a player, IMO. Whether it be football or life in general, sometimes a person just needs to come to terms with the fact that they are not the best of the best.

Yes, there needs to be clear transparency for lots of reasons. Does the University have to fund accountants for these players because some of them need it? I can see players getting a lot of NIL, not being successful in the NFL and then 5 years out they have nothing at all.

The league is allowing NFL type salaries,
I would adopt NFL game rules as well.
