[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 1004384, member: 4110"] What are the takes among us about the effects on the men's game of the portal and NIL? I intentionally link the two (NIL and the portal) because the effects on the game of the two changes seem to be synergistic. I thought going in that the increased player mobility combined with a free market NIL potential would result in a coherent system where the cream rises, players can move up and down based on desired exposure, playing time and market forces. So far, I see chaos and inefficiency. Mostly, I see a game disrupted by the locus of incentive being shifted from winning to players realizing their market potential. In theory, those two incentives could be harmonious but I don't think it is working out in that way. Players as mercenaries with such short term goals do not appear to be simpatico with building a winning program or good basketball. As the NCAA tournament unfolds, we will watch the games and see the fine play and say to ourselves that the game is fine. But these teams are the top 20%, the teams that caught lightning in a bottle. But the rest of the 80% are not in the same position. Personally, my skepticism about the portal has grown as a means to build a program. If I am a coach, I am asking the transferring player WHY he is moving? Are those reasons consistent with a player who is committed to his team mates and is a winning player? I like that Stoudamire seems to be favoring high school recruits as a means to establish a winning culture. Programs will benefit from a very discerning and efficient allocation of NIL resources, where production is rewarded and speculation is marginalized. [/QUOTE]
