NCAA's latest transfer portal proposal takes aim at coaches, money in effort to deter post-spring tampering​

If you recall the Xavier Lucas saga from a year ago, it's clear what the NCAA is trying to prevent moving forward​

The NCAA FBS Oversight Committee on Friday zeroed in on a recommendation meant to aggressively penalize teams for adding players outside of the transfer portal window.

Adjusting a proposal initially formed in February, the oversight committee settled on a pair of actions that would occur if a team added a player who wasn't entered into the transfer portal during the January window:

• The head coach would be prohibited from all football (recruiting and on-field coaching) and administrative duties (team meetings) for six contests.
• The school would be fined 20% of its football budget.

The committee had previously proposed that a school would also lose five scholarships for adding a player not in the portal outside of the portal window. But that's since been removed from the proposal.

The committee left arguably the two most punishing penalties in its proposal, however. Losing five scholarships isn't crippling in an era where teams can carry 105 scholarship players. A head coach losing his ability to recruit and literally do his job in-season is very stringent. So is a team being fined 20% of its football budget.

The proposal still must be adopted by the Division I cabinet, but it's clear the NCAA is taking aim at a transfer loophole that athletes have taken advantage of over the past year and could have had a major impact this spring.

I get the sense that Mobley wants to come back. Bynum, I don't have confidence that he's coming back as he seemed very undecided yesterday. Of those 3 guys, Royal has the most obvious reason to leave with Thompson coming in at SF. Of course you want to have Mobley, Bynum and Royal all back, but everyone is year-to-year nowadays.

Supposedly OSU plans to hire a GM for the program now, which may be a good thing if that means they actually will have legitimate talent evaluation now.

My take is mostly about my perception of demand. I think Bynum will have a lot of serious suitors, Mobley a lot but not as many, and Royal considerably fewer than both of them. I have no insight into what they individually actually want to do.

I’d say that we’ll have to step up quite a bit to keep Mobley and Bynum away from pretty big money elsewhere. Royal, not so much.

I want to say one more thing about this game. The last play of the game isn't where OSU lost, IMO. You got surprised by TCU putting two guys guarding the inbounds pass with 4 seconds left & did not have a timeout. Obviously they didn't get what they wanted in that scenario, but putting the whole game on one play does a disservice to ignoring a real flaw in the team, which was interior defense. TCU was able to score near the basket over and over, their forwards were able to constantly get to the basket, get layups and get fouled, and OSU had very little in terms of strength, holding position, shotblocking and help defense to stop them. Plus they were able to get a ton of offensive rebounds. To me, this game was lost moreso on the defensive end where they failed to stop TCU from getting easy shot opportunities down the stretch. I'm a firm believer that in the NCAA tournament, when the going gets tough, the team that's tougher to score on in the paint wins, and OSU wasn't that team yesterday. In order for OSU to take the next step as a program, they need to be that team that's tougher to beat in the paint.

Exactly, the last 2 defensive possessions lost the game way more than having to try to score having to go full court with 4 seconds left

Wide open 3 and then the game winning easy short distance put in.

Isn't it more likely that the rest of us are dead and Chuck Norris stayed where he wanted to?

Virginia does that often, their depth and physicality catches up with teams at the end of the game. They obviously show the importance of strength and depth.

Yes. They have been a 2nd half team all season. Uncharacteristic UVA turnovers today - both forced and unforced, and the Wright State guy who had 1 3-pointer all season made 5 of them, kept this game close. I would be really curious to hear why Wright State kept their top scorer (16 in 1st half) out for so much of the 2nd half. Really a head scratcher without knowing more.

Good effort by Wright State but just couldn't hit any shots down the stretch in the closing minutes and UVA will survive
