I think current system is working pretty well but certainly can be improved.

First, i think the product is better because student athletes can stay longer if they are not ready and still make good money.  Wong and tsiebewe for example.

Second, ncaa is a horrible corrupt organization and less power their is a positive.  Unc no classes for decades, no penalties.  Bill self a massive cheater caught on fbi tapes = lifetime contract.  Hate calhoun, create bogus apr penalties.  But not the historic black schools.

Many good points in this thread but also allows a school to turn programs around quickly.

First hand example of how this helps the kids.  Good friend of mine was d1 kicker for ga southern as walk on for 2 years.  Was promised scholarship this year after crushing it last year.  School signed too many players in portal and did not honor scholarship.  Kid hit portal and will kick for memphis this coming year and received 40k nil deal.

Also remember uconn has 4 championships without portal.
