I do think college football needs to be reformed a bit more from this free-for-all clusterfuch we currently have.
My suggestions are:
1) a 1-time cap on transfers; anything more than that, you have to sit out a year. Players transferring 4 times in 4 years is ridiculous--no professional league allows unlimited free agency, why on earth should college sports?
2) a NIL cap (let's say $100M max per team). Again, nearly every pro sports league has a salary cap to work (and the ones that don't quickly spend themselves into oblivion via reckless and financially unsustainable spending)--why shouldn't college sports? It'll drive down a lot of the portal nonsense and let's face it: it won't change things too much. The bigger, wealthier programs will be able to afford it--the schools like FAU won't.
