If I really wanted to rule with an iron fist I will absolutely hear the argument for the academic calendar, and the portal window would open after a player's semester ended (would would also allow them to opt out of their bowl game) and they would need to be accepted AND enrolled at the new school before the first Monday of January to be eligible for the Fall season. Thats roughly 3 weeks to get your stuff figured out. And for those that are on the roster of a CFB team - tough shit. You are locked-in to your school or you get the new version of a redshirt year if you decide to transfer after the portal window closes.

I wish I could spam the upvote button. Bravo.

if the window starts after 2nd semester they don't transfer until summer anyways

I was lying in bed this morning looking up at my ceiling. Not sure if it is the best ceiling in the world, but it's up there.

Cancelling the spring game would hurt a lot of businesses in the NRV and Roanoke. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Looking to head to Jackson Hole, in August. Spending a few days at Teton then heading to Stanley, Idaho for a few days. Any hikes and attraction recommendations would be welcomed.

Also, looking for a quiet beach in the panhandle in mid to late April.

I like having one portal window, but I think the only issue you have is that the summer is might be the best time to transfer academically. Just a cleaner break, I would think? And depending on when the season ends some schools' spring semesters would have started by the end of the postseason, or you're giving players a week to pick a new school. It's tough to work around the academic calendar. Maybe that's not that important now.

My college roommate and his wife are looking at going to Iceland about a year from now, and asked if we may want to go. Their main interest is the northern lights. While that is also big for me, I would not go just for that. What else should one do in Iceland? What is the best way to see stuff - car, tour, cruise, etc? How long should we plan to stay? Has anyone done an Iceland Air layover flight? Where else in Europe would be good to go for 4 days in February/March if we were to do the Iceland Air layover plan? - Worried a lot of the places may be pretty cold that time of year, and we will get enough cold in Iceland.

open scouting event - Michigan did this openly in real games and received no punishment basically.

I guess the idea is that it becomes essentially an open scouting event for anyone looking to poach.

I think the actual Spring practices would be a bigger issue as many times the top starters play pretty sparingly in the Spring Game anyways.

I see it as being a bigger issue for the "Blue Bloods" who are potentially trying to protect their 2-Deep from being picked apart...i.e. WR4 shows out in Spring Game and then has multiple teams offering him a starting spot immediately.

We are now at college footballs "fuck the fans" phase of NFL metamorphosis. Soon you will get your wish. Why play a game in front of our home fans when we can play in Sao Paulo, Spain, Ireland, Germany? Why broadcast games on local TV thursday night when we can charge fans for the privilege?. Why have a spring game for the fans? Fuck the fans is the latest installment into the transformation.

Exactly.
