"College Football's Bowl Season Crisis: Opt-Outs, Transfers, and the Call for Reform"

Bowl Season executive director Nick Carparelli has highlighted the impact of 'unregulated circumstances' such as the early signing period, fall transfer portal window, and NIL restrictions on college football's postseason. He suggests that the NCAA needs to address these issues to prevent roster attrition from opt-outs and transfers, which have been affecting the competitiveness of bowl games. Carparelli proposes a single transfer portal window at the end of the academic year and hints at potential NIL compensation as incentives for players to participate in bowl games. The trend of players opting out was evident with notable absences in this season's bowl games, leading to significant defeats like Florida State's in the Orange Bowl.
