Montana State Bobcat transfer RB Isaiah Ifanse commits to San Jose State

The transfer rule has changed since, what, 2017? 2018?… we’ve not lost players like this since this year (Hayes 2 years ago the exception)… whether or not we are catching up to what the rest of the FCS has been experiencing, something has changed at NDSU in the last 2 years. Don’t like it… don’t like it one bit…

The change was not having to sit out a year if you transfer up or even as an undergrad. I belive it was Spring 21 that happened. That's why you see so many more now.

Looking at the NCAA data site, in 2021, 60% of undergrad FCS players who entered the portal remained in the portal. Only 29% transferred and received a scholarship. The remaining 12% transferred to another school but did not receive athletic aid. FBS was 33% didn't transfer, 57% found a new scholarship home and 9% found a non scholarship home. And the number of transfers were almost twice as many for FBS (997) as FCS 560). This tells me that year FBS schools were more of a feeder than FCS by a significant margin.

There most definitely are 4 year guaranteed scholarships provided, but don't know if NDSU does or not. NCAA has allowed multiyear scholarships since 2012. The power 5 conferences also voted to protect them in 2015.

OK so multi year scholarships are available at the discretion of the institution but not required. So it sounds like they can tell pretty much any athlete to take a hike whenever they feel like it as long as they haven’t made a completely optional longer term commitment to them.

LMAO its comical at this point. Its time for FBS.

Going FBS won’t fix it, We need NIL deals that compete with the P5 schools otherwise we will say see ya to our best players every year

As long as the portal rules continue like they are now, FCS will be a minor league system for players hoping to get an FBS look.

Let’s not forget Bohl in WY, just because they are FBS doesn’t mean he isn’t losing his best players too. The P5 is poaching his team just as bad or worse than any FCS team. He still managed to have a winning season.

Weird why SDSU isnt losing their best players. Asking for a friend.

Sorry but I believe this is part of the Entz failure. Apparently these kids arent buying what he’s selling.

Epic failure to lose this many quality starters

If the Bison dont move up I am likely gonna lose interest... This will really benfit the top 16 teams but will hurt every other division.. its basically become European soccer..

When did you become a Bison fan? My bet it was after 2007. A real fan will always be a fan regardless of FCS or FBS!

That simply is not gonna happen. So not worth bothering. NDSU can't lock horns with schools financially that have much bigger alumni bases, fan bases, etc in NIL. That's just not going to work out.

American life expectancies have been dropping since 2017, the US is a fucking nightmare state, rapidly swirling the drain because imbecile gens X, Y, and Z are more concerned about where they're getting their next "fix" from or having a reliable drug supplier than they are about having a functional society.

I forgot to mention how imbicile boomers are all drowning in lead poisoned brains. Dumbest and worst people in history.

The young'uns are already f'ing things up by not working and relying on Government assistance. That has a trickle down affect for people not f'ing things up. Not to mention a pandemic that is going to drive premiums up for everyone including the ones that do proactively value their health. Rising house costs, water bubbles bursting, homeless at an all time high, children getting their hands on Fentanyl, but hey, as long as we can continue to give Ukraine tens of billions of dollars to let them be used for pawns in a war that no Western nation wants to end, things will continue to be ok.

Labor force participation is at record highs. None of this has anything to do with Ukraine, boomer
