The Next Step That College Sports Desperately Needs - Arkansas' AD Tweeted Out The School Is Enforcing NIL Buyouts For Players That Transfer

This isn't the first time we've seen some form of buyout talk. Norlander did a big piece on how NIL has gotten out of control and this was out there: 

But now we have an AD from an SEC school tweeting out they will be looking for buyouts if you transfer. It's logical. It's what college sports needs. I don't care about NIL as much as I do about the transfer portal. It doesn't make sense. Just looking at football you can transfer in the winter, go to a school and then transfer again during the spring period. How the fuck does that make sense? In what world does that do anything good? It doesn't. 

Again, I will say this until it happens. The only thing that makes sense is one free transfer for every player in college sports. You can transfer once without sitting out, without penalty. Then if you want to transfer again, you sit out a year like the old days. The caveat being if your coach leaves or if you are a grad transfer, you transfer without sitting again. 

I can't stress how little I care if a player gets paid to go to a school vs what NIL is supposed to be. If someone wants to pay you $4 million, go ahead. It's not my money. But this is the logical step. If you accept that contract, then leave in the middle of it or before the contract is up, you have a buyout. People will scream that the 'coaches portal is always open' which is true. But they have buyouts, so add it here. This is all the NCAA's fault too. They refused to adapt, to help make changes before it got out of control and now we're here.
