Never been a fan of Geno, but he is spot on regarding the portal.

I really don’t think it would be such a huge mess if the one-time sit out free transfer was not approved the same year everyone kept their eligibility frozen due to COVID. Those two in tandem are what is making everything a mess.

The transfer portal has been around for 3 seasons and it was never the issue in and of itself. People act like players didn’t transfer before the portal. Main thing it really did was make the process less of an administrative and communicative burden on players, admins, and coaches.

The greater issue is that the NCAA will never monitor this and the P5's will recruit the G5's for players they overlooked.  Probably doing it on the field after games.  The NCAA won't do a thing about it until complaints arise and then they will slap sanctions on some low level P5 or a G5 to look like they have some sort of control all the while ignoring the "big money programs."

The NCAA is like the tobacco companies circa the 70's, they know they are f'd but they want to extend out their profits for as long as the possibly can.  Sort of like Bill Clinton, deny deny deny and then emotionally admit and try to cut deals with your prior enemies to stay afloat.  The NCAA is not going to rock the power P5 boat because that is what pays their bills.
