Along with the NIL rules, players are now able to enter the transfer portal without having to sit out a year, making for a potent concoction capable of igniting the tempers of coaches as programs battle for top talent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Pittsburgh star wide receiver Jordan Addison is the story of the day, but he\u2019s just the latest example of the new college football landscape causing a stir.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In February, Texas A&#038;M head Jimbo Fisher lashed out at writers and coaches questioning the way the Aggies recruited, calling those who believed A&#038;M was working off of a $30 million fund to help pay for their recruiting class, \u201cclown acts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThere is no $30 million fund,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/clown-acts-jimbo-fisher-fires-back-following-nil-recruiting-rumors\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span> Fisher. \u201cThere is no $5 million, there is no $10 million. This is garbage,\u201d Fisher said. \u201cIt pisses me off.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt comes from a site called \u2018Bro Bible\u2019 by a guy named \u2018Sliced Bread\u2019 and then everybody runs with it,\u201d Fisher continued. \u201cSo it\u2019s written on the internet and it\u2019s gospel. How irresponsible is that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Fisher said it was insulting to the players he\u2019s recruited to insinuate that the NIL rules were the reason for choosing A&#038;M.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019ve got writers who have said it off a guy named \u2018Sliced Bread,\u2019 who made it up,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd then to have coaches in our league and across the league say it? Clown acts. Irresponsible as hell. Multiple coaches in our league.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When it comes to Addison, the 2021 Biletnikoff Award winner, the news of his potential transfer from Pittsburgh is angering many within the Pitt program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On Friday, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/story\/_\/id\/33829757\/sources-pittburgh-panthers-usc-trojans-odds-jordan-addison-mulls-potential-transfer\"><span>ESPN<\/span><\/a><span> reported that Addison was considering transferring, and that USC (Southern California) was a potential landing spot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi reportedly reached out to USC head coach Lincoln Riley \u201cmultiple times\u201d in order to express his displeasure with Addison\u2019s name being connected to the Trojans, with some Pitt officials believing that tampering could have occurred.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On Friday, Addison\u2019s name officially appeared on the transfer portal, though Addison has reportedly left the door open to returning to Pitt as he explored his options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Last month, Alabama head coach Nick Saban discussed the possibility of the NIL and the transfer portal coming together to create a situation where colleges are buying players.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe concept of name, image and likeness was for players to be able to use their name, image and likeness to create opportunities for themselves. That\u2019s what it was,\u201d Saban said in an interview with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/college-football-sports-business-dabo-swinney-alabama-crimson-tide-8164758f34f295680c1668545549596e\"><span>Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cSo last year on our team, our guys probably made as much or more than anybody in the country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBut that creates a situation where you can basically buy players,\u201d Saban continued. \u201cYou can do it in recruiting. I mean, if that\u2019s what we want college football to be, I don\u2019t know. And you can also get players to get in the transfer portal to see if they can get more someplace else than they can get at your place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While many believe that players should be able to profit off of their names as their schools and the NCAA make millions off their on-field performance, the ability to transfer to the highest bidder whenever and whenever they\u2019d like could cause a major problem for college sports down the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
