It is obvious that there is zero loyalty any longer

which is fine. I get it "business decisions"... Well, with business being business and college football being a billion dollar industry, with universities spending hundreds of millions of dollars, I believe it is long overdue that the one-year scholarship is exactly that; one year. Traditionally, a player is given four years no matter if he is a bust or not. it is time to end that tradition and start making players earn the scholarship every year. You are hurt, underperform, or there is a HS recruit that wants to come in that is better, you are cut, err, your scholarship is not extended. Loyalty goes both ways, and since there is no loyalty with the players, the university should show no loyalty to them, after all... it is a business.

They have been getting a 4 year scholarship at Clemson, bust or not. Most every other school kicks their A$$ to the curb if they can't make the 3 deep roster after their 1st season. That's right, they will take their scholarship if they can't make the 3 deep roster their 1st season!!! Since the transfer portal and kids showing no loyalty at all, Dabo should be taking scholarships from everybody that don't make the 3 deep roster after no more than their second season. That is the way that Bama, and Saban are still a playoff team after they have a mass exit to the NFL year in and year out!!!

So you are describing basically what the SEC has been doing for last 10yrs. It worked better when the school was dictating and could sell it to the player as you are going to be stuck on the practice squad so now is a good time to move while you have 2yrs to play.
Now the roles have changed, but most freshman are not ready for D1 ball but they think they are. So if they don't see the field then they are ready to jump but most good programs should be 2 deep for a newbie.
I think players that commit should be required to stay for 3yrs at committed school. Then if things don't go their way then they can Transfer with 2yrs guaranteed with no wait, and then if they want, they can have 1 more yr as a graduate if they got a degree and play 1 final year as a graduate. If you transfer before 3yrs then you have to sit one year.
There are no Redshirt yrs. You play 5yrs at one school, or yrs and 1 as graduate, or you play guaranteed 3yrs, then 2yrs if you transfer, then 1 as graduate if any school will offer you.
So the school you sign with is 3yrs min, or you have to Redshirt a yr if transfer before, then you have 1 yr at that school with option to play as graduate 1 more yr or transfer one more time for final year. None of this medical or lawyer crap excuses.
But at end of day, the first school that you signed with, that spends thousands for your commitment should have a minimum guarantee period.
Schools invest tons in recruiting. Clemson was like 4th or 5th highest few yrs ago like $3.8mil. UGA was like $6.4mil that same yr when they had like ten 5* recruits. I think Bama, aTm, Texas, Oregon, LSU and maybe OK,, ND might have been in there, but there were a top 7-8 teams that were spending $3.5 to 6+ mil for recruiting and in comparison teams like FSU and Miami spent like $500-600k. The numbers were crazy. And WF, USF, BC, etc, they only spent like $275k.
Thats what schools spent, who knows what came with McD's bags.

You're another early morning TNetter with a heck

of a good mind at this hour! Good morning, ICA.
Besides despising this unholy transfer portal malarkey, I certainly agree these players should have to stay at their original schools for a certain period of time. If not, then the schools don't need to offer four-year scholarships. Students receiving scholarships have to meet certain academic standards or they lose them. Student-athletes should have to do the same, if the NCAA is going to allow them to take a willy-nilly attitude toward their school.
My main problem is not with the schools nor athletes. It's with the spineless, dunce-headed NCAA that is corrupting college football with inanity besot with illogical, gutless rules.
Best wishes to you.

Scholarships are for one year only. That is the NCAA rule. That is in writing. Clemson has made an oral commit to 4 years. It could be changed by a new coach or athletic director. It is not legally binding .

Theres never been any loyalty the only difference is that now the players have the ability to tell the team to shove it any time they get their feelings hurt.

I am not sure how Saban gets away with it, but you notice that Bama signs large classes EVERY year, yet they stay at the 85 number. Seems to me Saban selects the "players' and makes life miserable for the others, so they leave. It is easier to be the #1 Recruiting class every year when you are signing 25 every year. At Bama, you perform or you are gone. Dabo has stuck with his commitment for 4+ years to all recruits because that is who he is.
