I am not going to do a long dissertation on this but I think all of this transfer crap is not doing college athletics or the fans of college athletics and even the student-athletes(?) One bit of good. I mean why even bother to have recruiting any longer when a kid can go to a school for one year maybe less and then leave. Why should a fan pay money to see a team play and yell for a guy when that guy might not be with the same team the following season. I know I am in the minority but this pay for play, transferring without losing a year of eligibility, and the transfer portal among other things are just ruining college athletics as we once knew them.

Not sure there is a right answer in this situation but if you are a head coach in college basketball, your job just got harder.

Coaches do it all the time. They recruit a kid, make promises, then a better job comes along and see ya!
