[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 864913, member: 282"] The SI article that Oriental links is one good resource. It’s too simple to say that the portal isn’t in the player’s best interest, but it is part of a system that is tilted in favor of the sports programs. [LIST] [*]Freedom for students to choose their future is a good thing for students and it’s a right that’s been infringed for years [*]The portal makes transferring easier for athletic departments. It’s like an athlete shopping market for them. It simplifies transfers for athletes too, but it looks like the majority of the benefits go to the schools [*]There are players like Burrows and Fields that are going to benefit from the portal a lot [*]There are some players who are going to transfer and come out slightly ahead. If you got sold a “pig in a poke” by your coach, the portal is an escape [*]However, in a given year, a football team will take in 20-25 athletes through a combination of high school recruiting and the portal. Recruiting plus transfer classes are bigger than they used to be, but the 85 player cap is the same. [*]Teams will lose a handful of athletes they want to keep to the portal. Another 10 or so will get pushed into the portal unwillingly to make room for new players. [*]About half of the players pushed into the portal never make it to a new scholarship. [*]So, on balance, players are losing out here—it’s a way for programs to sift through players and weed out ones that they don’t want [/LIST] However, if we took away the ability to transfer, players would lose out there, too. The athletic programs are in better positions to use the status quo to their benefit or to use changes to their benefit than most of the players are. [/QUOTE]
