Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 4634404, member: 37"] My immediate reaction is to support the players over anything else. Why should any student be restricted from going to a university offering that student a better opportunity. Shouldn't an athlete have an opportunity to get the most out of his or her educational opportunity? And yes sports particularly with these new changes offers an opportunity like never before. It's not like college degrees has put every graduate in a position as good as some of these college athletes are finding themselves in. Disaster? Define it please. Who is getting hurt from these changes? The fans? Alumni? The Universities? Well if that happens this system will self correct. It's way to early to predict the outcome. It's just as possible a football powerhouse such as Alabama can have it's program sabotaged by a collective attempt from boosters at different programs around the country choosing to target several of the Alabama players as it is for lower tier schools ending up with their programs becoming even more irrelevant. Well one could dream. If there is to be some sort of attempt to regulate things I'd prefer a program cap. Every program would have a maximum number of transfer portal players they can get over some established period and if that number is exceeded they start losing scholarships. That number would be applied to coaches as well so a coach moving to another school would have some restriction put on the new school if he exceeds the number of transfers at both programs in that time frame.
