UCLA head coach Mick Cronin is advocating for a rule change that would allow schools to exceed revenue share caps to retain their players, similar to the NBA’s Bird rights. After his team’s victory over No. 9 Nebraska, Cronin emphasized the need to discourage player transfers, citing the limited financial benefits of NIL deals. He highlighted the stark impact of the transfer portal, with only 22 seniors at high-major programs remaining for four years. Cronin’s proposal has garnered support within the Big Ten, although the conference has not yet commented.
