Mickey Joseph Mickey Joseph, aimed at protecting HBCU sports programs, Mickey Joseph, proposed to create a ‘purchase’ system for the NCAA transfer portal. This proposal is designed to help smaller schools to protect their talents when the grambling state is often struggling with financial advantages of larger programs.
Difficulties for Hbcus during the transfer portal period
The transfer portal has become a significant factor in college athletics, to give athletes more freedom among schools. Although this system brings benefits to many players, the larger organizations, which offer more resources, often laid HBCUS in an inconvenient in a disadvantage as talented athletes. Technical Director Yusuf’s ‘Buyout’ system is an attempt to raise the game area to the level of the playground using large schools to hire large schools from HBCUs.
Joseph’s opinion will try to create a financial penalty for programs trying to hire players from small schools such as Gramling State to compete with the highest level universities.

Mickey Yusif was appointed head coach of the football program of the province of Grambling in late 2023, as an auxiliary coach such as LSU and Nebraska. GRaming is directed to create a culture to restore the historical prestige and recovering the historical prestige.
“We are here to recover orders, get back to excitement, return to the fan of Grampetline and set up a championship program,” he said.
The effect of the proposed ‘purchase’ system
The transfer port has revolutionized the schools of college athletes, but created the financial impression. With larger programs, with deep financial sources, leaving the best athletes, leaving the HBCUS to save the best athletes, can easily attract talented players of small schools.
The proposal for Yusif’s ‘Buyout’ system will offer a financial mechanism to discourage these power athletes. The idea is that this system will only protect the HBCUS from losing only the HBCUS and help maintain competition groups.
A new period for college athletics?
The sparked conversation by the technical director Joseph’s proposal can represent a significant turn in how the college can manage the transfer portal. While the NCAA transfer system continues to evaluate, Joseph’s proposal is an open call for justice in recruitment. If it is carried out, a ‘Purchase’ system can bring the balance to the game area for HBCus for a long time.
As the discussions continue, many in the world of college sports will be watched to see how such a system could affect the future of traction and HBCU athletics.
