With the transfer portal, Kiffin said, "free agency" now exists - except that, unlike professional sports, every college player can enter into free agency twice a year with the spring and winter transfer windows.

Said Kiffin: "We've got professional sports," except with no salary cap or luxury tax, and the result is myriad "issues" for coaches.

"And I'm not complaining about it cause we take advantage, obviously, of free agency," he added.

You could replace “Kiffin” with “Saban” in these quotes and I’d believe it. He’s got a point. While players have been getting paid to play for a long time it’s definitely all out in the open now with no attempts at regulation. The transfer portal has definitely changed a lot and could potentially lead to super teams. Phil Knight should test this theory one year and just pay a bunch of players from UGA/Bama/tOSU/Michigan to transfer to Oregon and see if they can make the title game.

Yeah Im no Kiffin fan, but very much on point in his concerns. It’s the Wild West right now with money flying everywhere.
