Who do you penalize if the players violate the contract? Whats the penalty? It’s just unworkable. I’m sure you know what would happen. Ooops, my hammy is sore, I can’t play. Players don’t even need to enter the portal. Many, including all the good players, already know where they are going before they portal. That’s why they have agents. The courts are also dead set against any restrictions on their ability to transfer.
In terms of the portal the problem is if you don’t open before the new year how do kids enroll in school? The semester will have already begin, then no spring practice etc. The other issue I see is most of the teams have concluded their seasons. If you wait until the season. Is over your are talking late January.
