Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4437864, member: 55"] I don’t think there has ever been a rule about speculating on transfers IN to the program. Just about talking about players transferring OUT. Having said that, if a. Moderator is looking at this, the rule to not talk about players transferring out made sense 25 years ago when players all the time stayed at a school for their career without ever having an impact on the court or field, and there was no portal, but does it still make sense? With the portal and attitude about hanging around and not playing, is anyone really hurting a player’s feeling when they ask if they might not go somewhere else for playing time. To take an obvious example from hoops, we have a forward who had been on the roster for 3 years without a single meaningful minute. Last offseason, whether we mentioned his name and the possibility of his going into the portal for playing time or not, 100% of fans were asking themselves that question. It just seems to me that the purpose of the rule has long since passed. [/QUOTE]
