Message: [QUOTE="KryHavok, post: 5146767, member: 12905"] I agree with this as well, the problem is that even if the typical Spring semester starts in January, it doesn't really give a whole lot of time for the student to transfer, register for classes, and physically move to the new school (it can be done, sure, but a typical student doesn't deal with this nonsense). I'm with you on the premise that the student-athlete, as it applies to football and lesser extent basketball, is really a misnomer akin to how professional wrestling was a "sport" rather than sports entertainment. Now, take the student aspect out and just consider the athlete to be a minor league contract player, then yeah, you can move the portal to later, and if you start classes late, well it's no biggie cuz you're not really looking to get a bona fide degree transferring from school to school to school...what's the major, a bachelors in the Liberal Arts of portaling? What program are they matriculating into, seriously? Want a portal, okay, it should open after the [U][I][B]last game[/B][/I][/U] (i.e., championship game) for that sport is played. I don't see a point in being established in the school for Spring cuz they can just portal out again in Spring and be in a new school for Fall. The rush to portal when games are still being played is detrimental to the sport. [/QUOTE]
