There need to be contracts signed, between players and institutions on these deals, basically players can walk away with the money and not full fill anything, there will be donor fatigue as this continues to grow.
Contracts can't be signed because players aren't employees. Regardless of the technicalities and everything, they're students who happen to also be athletes at the end of the day.
The second they sign any kind of contract they become professional players. The only thing I could see being plausible is adding restrictions such as limiting the amount of "free" transfers every player can use without losing eligibility. Say give them 1 or at most 2 free transfers before they have the revert back to the old rule of sitting a year.
Then again without the transfer portal we don't get the best QB SFA has seen since Jeremy Moses(and potentially the best QB ever).
It's a sticky situation. The problem with the portal and the NIL is that too much freedom was given from the get go. It should have been give a little at first, and then feel it out. The NCAA gave absolute freedom right away. Taking anything away will be harder than anything.
