App Transfer Portal 2025 - IN

[Mjohn1988]

First of all I would like to thank my teammates who I love more than anything, well other than money. To those not good enough to cash in on this scheme , well , maybe next time. To my coaches , Most of you got canned but I was going to the highest bidder anyway. Finally to the YOSEF Club members who paid my tuition and fees through their hard earned contributions , don’t worry others will follow behind me to Boone , until they get a better offer.

That is exactly how it is! This is why I don’t get emotionally attached at all anymore. It is also why I don’t give to NIL. Many players will just bolt for a P4 the first chance they get so no reason to give money to a player who won’t stay 4 years and graduate!

What is sad is that because they are like this I think the way to sum it up is they only care about the name on their jersey and not the logo while I only care about the logo and the name is interchangeable to me.

Time to have players unionize and have contracts with buyouts. We should get something when they bolt like this.

If I can’t get emotional about the game, and or the players what would keep me interested?

There lies a major issue with the revolving door. Losing interest by the season. Programs outside the top 15 or so are going to lose a lot of older fans. My interest has dropped significantly and with revenue sharing so will my financial support

My wife and I are considering dropping season tickets for the first time in over 40 years.

Again , it’s not just us . My Christmas get together circuit was populated with folks from alma maters across the land. To a man and woman, they are feeling it. If the system has to collapse to be later righted, so be it.

I said about attachment to the players. I get emotional about our team results because it is our school. Coaches and players are using us to move up the ladder and so we will use them to get wins and titles.

Maybe the Sun Belt should stop the postseason awards because they are just shopping lists for P4 teams. Maybe our schools should stop providing game film access to anyone outside of our own team, opponents because we have to, and to scouts who come on campus.

Right now I am pulling for the complete collapse because that is the only way we can have it fixed. Little tweaks won't help and I do admit the first system screwed players over. There has to be a way to not screw over players, coaches, and and fans but also not be something where fans stop beginning to care.

Although the changing landscape is impacting college football, I choose to pull for the team and name on the front. Players come and go ..we had them longer in the good ole days...but they moved on after 4 or 5 years. The difference now is that it may be after 1, 2 or 3 years, etc
The fan base that gives to NIL, on paper, should have a better chance to win. Does not happen all the time (see Yankees..lol). However, they should be more successful.
I am including myself when I say as I have not previously contributed to an nil. If the fan base does not want to contribute to the nil ...then the fan base will potentially get a mediocre team in most cases. Coaches can be great... however they need good Jimmys/Joe's to compete.
It is social media and people can complain all they want about XYZ coaches record at ABC school... however the alumni contribution base will be even more important until all this blows up...so, we, as a fan base, reap what we sew to a certain extent if fan base is not contributing as much as our peers, we will lose out on players that are Group talent level players to our peers.
I have no clue where we stand to other Group teams..this is not app St specific....just how I see the current state of CFB.

Now that is a big target. 6’4 205. Let’s get it.

Where is he from?

I was waiting to get confirmation of Dozier since he never actually said "committed". I was 95% sure he was but it never hurts to be 100%.

TRANSFER COMMIT:

Now that's a good Christmas present!

[AtlAppMan]

I guess DLo may be a pretty good closer after all.
Looking forward to continued good news over coming weeks.

The universities are sitting back and letting the reputations they build be destroyed. Think of all the effort from all the people it took to build the App. Football brand and it going to become crap. Think of all the sacrifices from former players and coaches, all gone. It took a while for me to see this but the universities can control this. And don’t think fans from the SEC schools aren’t feeling the same way. If the big boy schools want to save their brands and college football they need to do two things. One, refuse to be involved in NIL. Simply tell players they are offering a chance to play for the brand that Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, etc have build and if they can turn that into an NIL deal well good for them. But the coaches and the Universities will not be involved. This alone would end a lot of the portal madness. No coaches saying hey kid I can get you money. Second, show much needed restraint in the portal. I’m not saying no transfers but put the mind set back 5 years and only take kids who are transferring for more than money. But for the life of me I can’t understand why these universities are so willing to let their brands be destroyed. And yes they are being destroyed. I went 15 years without missing a home game at App.. If there was a game next week I’m not sure I would make the trip.

I have said this very thing to a few people. It would work but the reality is the schools won't do it because there are boosters and coaches willing to do anything to win. I hear Loggains talk about relationship and the reality is we know if he did go 11-2 next year he is likely to be gone for a P4 job and all those relationships he builds will follow him or leave for more money. It is sad that honestly the results we want for us mean heavy roster turnover every year or every other year and if we don't get the results we want then we will change coaches every 4-5 years.

I get why people say we have to participate in NIL but I refuse to in hopes that one day more and more people will wake up and see we fans are being used. Schools are expecting us to pay these players and I feel like NIL deals should be heavily incentive based.

It really doesn't matter what we think. The courts have ruled. The NCAA is attempting through the House settlement to more standardized the portal and NIL process as well as provide some clarity. Unfortunately, we are not going backward... like it or not. Without the one year sit out rule, the G5's will lose their best players to P4's and their bag of money. What so far this portal "season" we lost 3.

However, on the flip side, we get the players from the P4 that actually want to play. It is not always about the money.

Everyone seems to focus on what we are losing and not what we are gaining.

Sort of like focusing on Indiana not belonging in the CFP when any rational person would say that Tennessee did not belong in the CFP.

Another overlooked point, Notre Dame is not in a conference, but the majority of their games, five, are ACC teams. What other conference gets to play Notre Dame that much on a regular basis? https://www.bing.com/sportsdetails?q=no ... &isl2=true&

Look at the schedule for this year not including the playoffs: 5 ACC, 2 MAC, 1 SEC, 2 Big 10, 2 AAC. That is 4 nonautonomous games, one of which they lost. They have one less game to play they are in the CFP.

To be fair, we get guys from the P4 that want to play but for whatever reason were unable to play at the P4 level. It isn’t like we are grabbing guys that are proven commodities at the P4 level. Honestly, I’d rather have our proven guys stay then continue to take chances on unknowns, but I know that isn’t our current system.

[boonetodd]

We have to address the QB. Whomever said joey was 90% coming back was dead wrong. Can't win without a decent QB.
