Portal Solution

Finally, I idea I have been suggesting for two years. Now Mike Gundy sees the light. What he doesn't say is if they sign a multi-year deal, they can transfer but are not eligible to play for the new school until their contract expires. Sign for three, play one and transfer, you sit two years.

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy, who has never been shy about sharing his opinions, believes he has a solution to this.

“And until we get contractual scholarships in high school recruiting the portal is never going to settle down. For example, young men should be able to sign a one-, two-, three- or four-year scholarship. That’s their choice. Whatever they sign, that’s what they’re committed to. That’s what we’re going to now. That’s the only way that we are going to have a chance to manage rosters. So, let’s just say that at the end of this year I’ve got 19 guys whose contracts are up. They may be a senior or a freshman. So, if you’re a five-star guy, like you’re a heavily recruited guy, you might just sign a one-year deal and then say, ‘Well, I’m good enough to sign another one-year deal, or I can leave if I want.” – via FootballScoop.com
