[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 864981, member: 282"] The portal started in 2018. Covid basically started in 2020. Some people here think that COVID numbers are leaving players without a landing spot. I think players are being told "it's time for you to hit the portal and find a new home". Yeah, at first, the portal was all goodness for the players. Maybe timing makes you think that COVID is to blame for players losing their spots, but it's easier for me to see this as programs learning to bend the portal to their own use. Did the portal cause players to get cut loose? Schools had ways to process players before the portal. Did the portal enable programs to cut players loose more easily and with more deniability? Oh, yes, it did. And I think they're doing it. Are players going into the portal willingly? Yeah, a bunch are. Are players being pushed into the portal? I think so--I think a lot are. Would removing the portal hurt players? Sure. The game is tilted towards the programs and not the players. Keeping the status quo keeps things tilted that way. When there's a reform, programs learn to bend the reform their way too. [/QUOTE]
