College Football Enquirer Transfer portal quarterback dominoes fall + how schools are navigating the NIL "cap"
We are less than a week away from the National Championship game, but just because there are only two teams left playing does not mean there is a lack of news coming from the teams that are already in their offseason. In fact, it is quite the opposite as the transfer portal is in full swing, and it is chaotic, as usual. Players are transferring left and right, and two premiere quarterbacks have come off of the board. Sam Leavitt has committed to LSU and Dylan Raiola has committed to Oregon. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss both of these quarterbacks. They give their thoughts on what the pairing of Sam Leavitt and Lane Kiffin could be. They also discuss the shift with Dylan Raiola. There has still been no word, at the time of this taping, if Dante Moore is returning to Oregon. If he does, that would mean Raiola would be sitting behind Moore for a year. The guys talk about what impact this could have on Raiola's future.
Then, they look at another quarterback who is potentially off of the board. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson announced that he is leaving Alabama and entering the NFL draft. However, multiple schools are reportedly offering him lucrative NIL deals to stay in college for another year. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss this decision and how finances affect college athletes differently.
Plus, the guys dive into the topic of navigating the NIL "cap". Ross explains the impact that multimedia rights partners have in this situation. They then discuss how revenue sharing, multimedia rights and other NIL funds are used to circumvent the $20 million "cap."
