College football

Was talking about the ones people are seeing now. Wondered if the were being seen in daylight hours.
Every College Football Playoff team wants their focus to solely be on winning a national title, but Penn State head coach James Franklin addressed a problem elsewhere in the sport.
The college football transfer portal is open, and the timing couldn’t be worse for coaches like Franklin, who already saw a key backup player enter.
But Franklin defended his backup quarterback, Beau Pribula, who made the decision to enter the portal after starter Drew Allar already declared his intention to return to the Nittany Lions in 2025.
"We got problems in college football, and I can give you my word Beau Pribula did not want to leave our program, and he did not want to leave our program until the end of the season," Franklin said, via ESPN, on Monday in defense of Pribula’s decision to enter the portal. "But the way the portal is and the timing of it and the way our team is playing, and when you play the position of quarterback and there’s only one spot and those spots are filling up, he felt like he was put in a no-win situation, and I agree with them."
Why wouldn't college football open up he portal after the playoffs are completed?

Marshall has lost so many players (over 25) they were forced to withdraw from their Independence Bowl game. These smaller programs/conferences are turning into nothing more than developmental leagues to be poached from by the larger programs. Between transfers and NFL bound players opting out (as I imagine Sanders and Hunter will for Colorado), Bowl season has become a joke.

I agree, interest, and more importantly “money”, will wane. Hopefully the playoffs will expand sufficiently to make up any difference.
I’m not sure how they fix the transfer portal issue … limit it to once? Or only once every two years? Lose a year of eligibility? Needs to be some kind of deterrent.
sdandrea1 His jail time doesn't matter.....paid his dues, I guess?
Absolutely paid his dues. Yes, what he had engaged in was deemed illegal. I believe it's also been 'sub-culturally' accepted as has a similar form of betting and entertainment - cock-fighting. Regardless, does this logically extend to one with ill-conceived morals/values? Once one pays their dues in a retributive system of justice, do they not receive a second chance? Was his prior behavior, 17 years ago, so reprehensible? He plead guilty and served his time. We elected an upcoming POTUS with how many convictions with no admissions of guilt and no sentencing. I'll just ask the question. What does this mean, about us, our society, and our culture? Anyone actually know a convicted felon who's served their time and subsequently made a contribution to our society?
propman they could still enroll in classes if the portal opened after bowl games.
Most schools are on the semester system and registration closes in December. I just looked at my alma mater (Arizona) and registration for Spring 2025 started on Nov 4th. This is why the portal season is when it is.

Well, if academics don't matter a hoot. The Spring semester starts in early January. Say the player's transferring from PSU to LSU, what - commute?
