Speaking of Chubba, @Carm if Purdy backed out of the portal to stay on the team, would NU be required to count him against the 85? Or could we accept him back as a walk-on since he took a risk with the portal?Wasn’t that Chubba’s likely landing spot? Lol
I suppose that’s where you and I are differentI’d happy go out to the Bay Area to sit on a bench and watch the 49er play
Id atleast hope for a walk on spot from a more significant schoolThose are actually great options for a QB that hasn't won anything of note or been healthy his entire college career. I'm actually surprised by this list to be honest.
Interesting question. The fact that he's already graduated may (or may not) impact how the sage and august body known as the NCAA would interpret this.Speaking of Chubba, @Carm if Purdy backed out of the portal to stay on the team, would NU be required to count him against the 85?

I’m assuming that the NCAA wouldn’t allow that loophole.
Just a hypothetical running through my skull
My understanding has always been entering the portal is a severing of the original scholarship agreement and releases the athlete & school from that. So there is no requirement upon a return that they honor a scholarship & place them back onto the 85. They can renegotiate whatever agreement works best for both parties.Speaking of Chubba, @Carm if Purdy backed out of the portal to stay on the team, would NU be required to count him against the 85?

The school is allowed to sever the relationship immediately. It isn't required. Schools who want someone to reconsider and return will usually keep the kid on scholarship and on the roster until they actually transfer to a new school.My understanding has always been entering the portal is a severing of the original scholarship agreement and releases the athlete & school from that.

It's definitely a loophole if utilized the right way (enter the portal and see if you have better options, if not, come back and we'll get you on an NIL agreement that's the same or better than your past scholarship/NIL). You'll always be at risk of losing guys but is a safer way to potentially process kids & keep them + gives you flexibility in turning over your roster and shuffling the 85.
Done too often though it would likely draw attention & no idea if/how NCAA would address it. Seems as if they've been throwing in the towel on things lately.
I’m wading into waters out of my depth, but do transfers sign NLIs? I.e. is the school committed to provide a scholarship through the rest of his eligibility or is it a year by year thing?The school is allowed to sever the relationship immediately. It isn't required.

I'm not sure that if you enter the portal and withdraw without transferring before the portal year closes that the rules would even treat it as a transfer out and back, especially if you were enrolled the entire time.
The real kicker isn't whether you have to get a scholarship. It is whether you are a counter. The rules are not super clear, but if the institution recruited you and initially signed you to a NLI, you probably are a counter even if you withdraw from the portal and don't get a new scholarship if you receive NIL.
I believe year to year.I’m wading into waters out of my depth, but do transfers sign NLIs? I.e. is the school committed to provide a scholarship through the rest of his eligibility or is it a year by year thing?
