It matters in terms of negotiation timelines, internal leverage, avoiding Sarks no-return rule, and more. It’s not just semantics. It’s been a big contributor to a lot of noise the last week Just ahead of me- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
Guessing his filter is fucked. Notice the 23k entries so likely multiple sports and/or years in the superset- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
The discussion you’ve inserted yourself into started with someone stating “Once a player decides to enter the portal a school has 48 hours to convince him otherwise before they have to file portal paperwork and make the entry official. The announcement is what starts the clock.” yes it was important to clarify the announcement was not actually what starts the clock- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
The social media post is not at all an indicator that the clock has started- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
Riiiiight. I’m sure the agent has a zappier integration that just fires off on form submittal- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
I’d guess the official request starts the clock. Not a social media post- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
it’s probably north of 5000 players now, out of 12,000. Insane carnage coming when the music stops- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
I think the feeling is that such rules would be struck down by a judge as anticompetitive. Only the pro sports enjoy that luxury.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
I don't know, I guess. Listen, I'm gonna go. Its been really nice talking to both of you guys- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!

Didnt we recently see an example of this being walked back?- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi! Eloi, lama sabachthani!
Perhaps a solution for reducing volatility may be something like stock options tacked on to a pay agreement. They'd have real value if you stay (vest) for multiple years giving the original team a leg up on anyone looking to poach from them. If you leave early, the stock doesn't change hands and thus doesn't cost the school/collective a dime. If you stay and they vest, the school got some value from the stability it created. And we can still fire them if they suck. This isn't going to close the gap when the offers a vastly apart, but if offers are in the same ballpark the original school has some leverage.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi!

Absolutely. The inability to pin a dollar "value" on a player, or a position, or a school plus the source of the funds often being billionaires who have their own skewed perception of that value makes this fascinating from afar, though horrifying up close. Someone mentioned ROI earlier and I can't imagine how you would even begin to calculate that given the wide dispersion of even goals for CFB. Clearly not every donor is under the illusion that they can pay for a championship at their school ... what other value are they getting when Troy Fucking Aikman can't even get a "thanks"?!- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi!

Good on you for doing the work. I was thinking the same research was needed for us to better understand the picture. My guess is the leverage starts to flip from the sellers to buyers soon as the players remaining in the portal start panicking that they don't have a team - Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Eloi!
