In a strategic move aimed at protecting HBCU athletic programs, Grambling State University‘s head football coach, Mickey Joseph, has proposed the creation of a ‘buyout’ system for players recruited through the NCAA’s transfer portal. This proposal is designed to help smaller schools like Grambling State retain their talent while combating the financial advantages that larger programs often possess.Coach Joseph’s idea would involve creating a financial penalty for programs that attempt to recruit players from smaller schools like Grambling State, which may not have the same budget or resources to compete with top-tier universities.
