All ships are one year. However, obviously most coaches are not going to bring back someone who wanted to transfer. Exceptions obviously will be made for exceptional players.
I would think a lot has to do how the player and the coach are able to discuss the reasons and how to move forward.

Should I do one where it’s 2013 defense vs 2017 offense?
One of the problems when you look at how "older" defenses would do against "newer" offenses is the rule changes. It seems almost every year the officials emphasize rules to increase offense and protect the QB. The 2013 D was able to play in a way the 2017 couldn't, and in 2021+ the D has even more limits.
That being said, the 2017 O-line would not be able to handle the 2013 D-line. It would probably be a case where the 2017 O would probably put up good numbers but would still be held enough to be outscored by the opponents O that was not as good.

What happens to the 65% of players that enter the portal and are not picked up ? Do they return to their original school or are they on their own ? Are all players in the transfer portal current scholarship players looking for another scholarship ?
Form what I have heard once the player enters the portal he has given up his scholarship. It looks to be up to the school but it seems that most let them finish out the semester. Many are left without offers and must pay their own way or choose not to return to school.
There are also Walk-ons who are looking to move on. Some players do end up returning to their team, but the school does not have to take them back once they enter the portal.

With the increase in transfers I believe that we will see, led by P5 programs insisting, a change in the rule where there are only 25 slots available every year. There will be some type of modification allowing for expanding the number yearly as long as you do not exceed the total. They will probably also try to include the argument that limiting it to 25 hurts high school players.

We are a tweener. We can attract better HS kids and also attract kids from bigger schools that want to play. They can only sit out once and play right away during their career?
I believe with the one time no sit change they could actually transfer a second time, sit out a year and still play four years during a five year.

He also commented that "better" HS school players will be available for "smaller" FBS and FCS schools due to programs using up their 25 with transfers. My concern here is if the player will look at the G5 program (for example) as a temporary stop until he can transfer like the linemen from Charlotte last year that transferred to Arkansas.

Not an on the field rule, I would implement a budget limit for each division on what they can spend. A college "salary cap". Not Saying that each school has to spend that amount, but a limit. Along this line the revenue split for G5s needs to be addressed.

Listening to ESPNU radio last night they had a guest on the gave some interesting comments on the portal. His company is one that does Analytics for over 100 colleges.
Around 35% of the players who enter the Portal (FBS-FCS-D2 and D3) get scholarships - FBS numbers higher but they did not give the percentages
Commented that of those who sign, around 65%-70% contribute at the new school
Referenced that due to cost considerations many schools will focus more on transfers as they are less expensive than high school players to recruit.
He said three of the schools he works with in FBS had no plans to recruit HS players for the 2022 class

They must’ve chose the wrong Texas. Let UTEP do what they need to get more than 4 wins in a season.
Meanwhile, teams like LSU have faced nothing
I'm sure the 10+ "analyst" at most P5s do no instruction

The original comment was about the transfer portal. Ruder put his name into the transfer portal and so did Gray.
It is required - even Grad Transfers

I’m starting to see FAU being one of those TCU like programs that will be able to elevate to P5 when the opportunity presents itself. They are building something very special there.
Not sure how they move up with no fan support

Keeping the game safe
- Youngstown State football on Tuesday was placed on probation for two years and hit with recruiting sanctions by the NCAA after the school and the association agreed several rules violations were committed under former coach Bo Pelini.
Using the NCAA's negotiated resolution process, the school agreed it failed to monitor its football program when it permitted three staff members to recruit off campus without completing the coaches' certification test for the 2019-20 academic year.

Timing seems strange.
Best wishes to him.Will be interesting to see if he announces another school quickly. With Siggers there was not doubt that he had been recruited before he entered the portal. Let's see what happens here,

Boy, the NCAA really cracks down on these trouble makers. These things would be funny if not for the fact the large P5 programs can basically get away with anything
In charges UTEP acknowledged, the NCAA found offensive and defensive quality control staffers provided instruction during practice, which is against NCAA rules.

I mean over-policing in poorer zip codes, but 'proactive policing' also is what is causing Black people mainly not to trust the police. In Urban cities, when 'proactive policing' is really only strongly enacted in Black communities, it really is a race problem for what seems like mostly black people getting constantly harassed for just existing. Living in a place surrounded by crime where people are constantly harassed by cops and live in fear of a police state does not breed people who trust the police. I will admit that it does lower crime rates in the short term, but there are countless examples of proactive policing escalating into violent situations, or breaking down trust through putting specifically black people in poor communities through constant bullshit. It is causing a problem, and isn't something that can just be accepted or not addressed.
I get that the police have a system, but it is not working. It needs to change. TCOLE does education and gives and takes certifications, but it's well known that they frequently don't do enough, and are not active enough. TCOLE is well known for being flawed. Regardless of the system we have, something needs to change.
Trying to follow your logic. So your recommendation is for areas "surrounded" by crime have less of a police presence? In cases where there are escalations your thought is the police are always responsible so if they were not there the issues would not happen? It seems your recommendation is that in high crime areas we should leave those committing the crimes alone and let them do as they choose. Would you prefer the police to focus in areas where crime is low?

First off I appreciate @Rudy providing his insights as an LEO.
Second, while we come from completely divergent angles on this, I think it's pretty great how civil this conversation has generally been.
I second your second. The more conversations we have and the more we are willing to listen and look at issues from all sides the better the chance of making changes that will actually make a lasting difference. We need to address the issues openly and be willing to admit the problems we have, regardless of the comfort level. Dismissing others views from the beginning does not usually lead to successful change.

what I'm saying is that we don't ask police to handle a community safety issue like fire. we've created and fund a separate, specialized department for that. same for EMT/Ambulance services...a funded separate, specialized department.
and while police can be helpful in a fire and many are probably trained in CPR, their role in such emergencies is only support to the specialized department.
I don't know if a funded separate, specialized "Mental Health" or some-such department is an answer. but if it is, it's meant to take that responsibility from the police, be supported by police who should still have a cursory mental health training and that funding comes from a reallocation of police resources...like the cost of all those trainings and certifications Rudy is going through that put too much responsibility on police.
I hope we can all agree there is a serious need for mental health support in many cases. Just need to understand how we can ask someone to go into a potential life endangering situation with no way to protect themselves. As much as many ask for reform, and let's agree there is some needed, hopefully these same people can agree there are some vey bad people who would have no problem attacking anyone that got near them.

https://www.cbsnews.com/video/st-louis-sergeant-says-there-are-white-supremacists-on-police-force/
Sounds like an epidemic to me.
I'm not anti-police but I think policing needs some serious reforming. We ask cops to do too much, but perhaps the training needs to be different. Not only that, but if you have white supremacists on the force, do you truly have a police force that will serve the public?
Can not think of a time when shit hit the fan and others were trying to get to safety where the police that were running to harms way stopped and asked the race of the people they were trying to save. A lot of the same people yelling the loudest for defunding and also asking for additional police protection in rough areas have yet to get turned down as far as I know.

Oh for sure.
I'd also like an examination on the connection between ex-military folks who become police, and the rate of domestic violence cases among police as well
So now it's not just police, it military?

Serious answer...and one that I actually think should be universally accepted by all sides in this debate...:
police do too much.
we criminalize our problems and then have asked police to fix/regulate everything wrong in society and some/lots/most they do not have legitimate training for.
Police are not medical experts. Police are not mental health experts. Police are not domestic or substance abuse counselors.
The message of “Defund the Police” (bad branding, for sure) is that the money we have continually poured into our policing and legal systems could be better allocated across a broader array of services that will actually better people and society.
Good points. Seems in many professions we try and make people responsible for a wide range of issues that they can not possibly be trained to have the amount of skills needed to face what they do. No disagreement in looking for the most effective ways to spend money to best serve. Need politicians to stop thinking the way to solve problems is to spend more money - too many examples where this has failed.

Finally some accountability. Justice will be served when true reforms happen.
I am hoping you also want accountability for those who attack and kill officers?
