Trice is leaving K-State. I have no desire to check KSU message boards, but I wonder if he gets slammed by their fans as much as our role players like Polla and Freeman.

Coach Kruger had better try to get him to come to Norman, or we'll never hear the end of it.
 
I've also read that Khavon Moore entered the portal and is leaving Tech.

I was surprised to see that.

Yeah, they only have a couple returnees for next year. That is very surprising.
 
I honestly think this whole portal thing is going to end up being not a great thing. Course it's the sign of the times...don't like how things are going? Move on....

I do think if coaches leave that kids should have a chance without penalty to do something...they commit to a coach as much as a school..

Too much fluidity. Its already a bad thing imo
 
It's the least the NCAA can do. Let them play in the best situation for them.
 
The portal doesn't change anything. It's literally just a technology platform that connects the players with coaches, which was already legal just not unorganized. Nothing is different, it's just headlines now read "Austin Trice has entered the transfer portal" instead of "Austin Trice will transfer."

Thank you! This has nothing to do with the portal and everything to do with kids these days wanting immediate gratification.

Btw, khavon, how is Lubbock (aka the asshole of America) treatin ya?

Yup. The only change is that the NCAA is offering hardship waivers out like candy -- at least in football. Which I think is a good thing. If the NCAA isn't going to compensate players, at least let them utilize the NCAA for their greatest benefit. Don't make a senior at Kentucky settle for 5 shots a game when he could get 12 shots a game at OU, or 10 minutes a game at Duke when he could get 30 at Oregon.
 
They are athletes and students... Not slaves. Let them choose where they play without consequence.
 
The game becomes a lot less fun if they are allowed to constantly move around. Already seeing some of that with the increase in grad transfers and all the hardship waivers. I'm not against kids transferring, and I'm not against letting them do it without penalty in some cases. But letting them move around basically at will would kill the sport.

You and I definitely agree on this. Imagine if a university was building its basketball program and making gradual improvements every year. The 4-5 year head coach (just an example) kills it with a banner recruiting class...then bolts to another program and takes his recruiting class with him. That could set the university he's leaving back 5, maybe 10 years depending on the situation...way too much anarchy for my liking.

This sounds a lot like the labor market....

"I am trying to build a company, and when I didn't give my employees what they wanted or they weren't happy here they left for some other company. This set me back because I then had to hire and retrain someone else!!! How unfair!"
-Random CEO

This is essentially slavery in the labor market, yet you want to apply that to amateur athletics?
