Lane Kiffin is often outspoken about rules and policies around college football, and during a recent segment on The Rich Eisen Show, Kiffin shared his thoughts on possible changes to the transfer portal, and name, image and likeness issues.
“You got to put a window so they can only go in at these times,” Kiffin said. “And the NIL should be on a contract. Because some of these places, the day before signing day are sitting here saying ‘Oh come here, you’re going to get $50,000 when you get here’ and the kid goes ‘OK, yeah I sign.’ And then we hear the stories that they get there and they don’t see anything.
It appears that Kiffin has heard from players or other coaches that some promises aren’t delivered.
“So, there should be a way that – like a free agent contract – hey, you get to see the contract before you go there,” he said. “I’m just tired of the stories you hear where a school or two I know very well say to the kid, ‘You will get this when you get here.’ And then, the kids in the portal a year later because they didn’t get anything.”
