Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4353300, member: 44"] That’s kind of the way things are now. The number of kids who are “forced out“ is pretty small. What the portal does is encourages kids to forfeit their scholarship. Hey, everyone thinks the grass is greener on the other side and “surely another coach would see the inherent value in me if I left”. By the time it’s August and they’re stuck in the portal without an offer it’s too late they’ve given up their scholarship. We are seeing that happen in increasing numbers. That said, I can’t come up with a reasonable basis in which schools should have the option to drop kids but kids can’t leave schools, so the existing portal system and unlimited transfers seems like it’s on its way. I have a healthy skepticism about it, but I think our coaches are bright enough to take advantage of it. [/QUOTE]
