How would you compare Amex points to Chase ultimate rewards points?

I think the simplest solution to all this NIL circus is to limit transfers. . .

if you transfer you sit out a year. make it simple

Malacis

Agree. Have to limit the transfers. Give 2 transfers. But .....

And no NIL commitments until after you’ve played for half a season somewhere

Biggest mistake NCAA made was allowing the free one time transfer.
