The NIU head football coach, Thomas Hammock, had some hot comments about the use of the transfer portal and NIL.

Given the money that is generated by college sports, especially football. I’m all for players using the transfer portal to find a better situation, but something there, I think it needs to be reigned in a bit in my opinion. Seeing players at 4-5 schools in their college career isn’t doing them much good from a long-term learning perspective.

Both of these have moved more control and power to the players, which I think is a good thing for them. It’s debatable on whether they are good for the sport, but the dominoes that fell to lead us here fell a long time ago.

My thoughts... you can portal/transfer one time. You can portal or transfer a second time if you head coach is fired or moves on.

This can only be done if you show progress toward a degree.
