the transfer portal is going to wreak havoc on an already diminished product that is college basketball
Coaches will be poaching players that are 2-3 years into their program with a promise of playing time and showcasing skillsets
and if they allow players to profit from their likeness, the sport will be dead. You'll start seeing players talk about colleges in terms of small market like they do with pro sports.

I don't see the problem. Kentucky has been paying players for decades.

Roy’s blind loyalty to the sulking suck ass losers from the 14-19 team destroyed the Program. He’s Denny Crum.
I wouldn't go quite that far. I'm sure there will be plenty of guys entering the transfer portal in the next couple of months that would love to play for Carolina. We'll be fine. It does kinda bum me out about Kessler though. Love, what more could you ask for? Roy handed him the reigns, he took more shots than anybody on the team, problem is, he didn't make many. Not much of a slasher or facilitator either. If he doesn't want to be there, well, see ya. I was looking forward to seeing Sharpe and Kessler playing next year though...

Do you think DeGaulle will come back to pregame taunt AA? Does anybody think that? Where's Mook? Ding? Where did all the people go?

Shit, the NCAA is getting ready to have free agency on steroids. Teams can completely remake their rosters overnight.

It appears UNC players are going to play a large role in remaking other teams' rosters in the coming months...

What do stimulus checks and the Big 10 teams have in common?
Neither one last past the first weekend in March.

If I'm a young up and coming basketball coach, I would strategize how best to get to the NBA.
Brad Stevens ain't going anywhere.

I haven't looked at March Madness ratings so far, but I bet they are not good.

how does a coach fail a physical? You got Roy and Coach K passing out on the sidelines during games.

Interest in our bracket contest was high. We got 4 entries!
