Now add that the portal can only be used once per player unless there is a coaching change.

If she likes it, it's a bad idea.
Nice job NCAA, a victory for common sense 😁 . Now lets put on the thinking cap and be more proactive and collaborative and utilize the resources that are in the game--namely the legendary coaches who know a thing or two about the game and care a lot about the student athletes. Its not like the coaches are trying to explain quantum entanglement to you (NCAA). Lets make more progress. Some things that come to mind:
- The eligibility quagmire where 26-year-old pivots are playing against teenagers, and coaches are left guessing if a player with professional G-League experience is eligible until weeks into the season. The NCAA’s response? Silence, followed by confusing memos, followed by lawsuits. Please see Coach Cal's rant video and Hurley has opined on this. How does this make any sense?
- Wild Wild West of NIL. Instead of establishing a proactive framework for Name, Image, and Likeness years ago, the NCAA dug its heels in, lost in the Supreme Court, and then threw up its hands, leaving us with a disjointed, unregulated marketplace that forces coaches to be general managers without a salary cap. This is why our legendary coaches are retiring and will continue to retire.
- Arbitrary enforcement is baffling. Moving with lightning speed to punish minor infractions or deny hardship waivers for family illnesses, yet take years to adjudicate major scandals or clarify rules that impact the competitive integrity of the sport. More transparency on how these decisions are made or lets please bring in some smart people to fix it completely with establishing an independent enforcement body (outsourced arbitration), a sentencing matrix or chart that's clear and logical, and having the NCAA be one not both as a NCCA event planner and the regulator. There may be better ideas, these a few that come to mind.

Not sure how the “immediate effectiveness” impacts mid-year transfers as there has already been some. Unless they grandfather the players who have already transferred, there will be lawsuits against the NCAA, and the NCAA’s record on eligibility lawsuits is pretty pathetic.
Good for several reasons. The portal 'free agency' period should not be active while teams are still playing. Those teams should be able to concentrate on their upcoming games, not splitting their attention with portal recruiting. Further those teams still in the tournament don't even know what their returning roster will be.
After the last game they may find out they have a roster spot they were not anticipating etc. There also could be top players being recruited by teams out of the tournament that get verbal locks before that player even learns if the teams left in the tournament had any interest in them or available slots for them.
This is good and more fair overall, particularly for teams that go far in the tournament. The existing rules put teams succeeding in the tournament at a competitive disadvantage that this change addresses.
I think limiting the portal use to one time would also be a plus if they change that down the road.
