Some of them had no choice, what are you going to do when you are told your scholarship is not going to be renewed.

what's the percentages on that group?

I hope the NCAA surveyed the players. I think the answers would be fascinating.

My guess is that 60% are leaving to upgrade in program esteem. There has to be a good number who are leaving because the situation changed either with the coach or bringing in more senior players through the transfer portal.

I don't know but I know there were 3 Arkansas kids that were told there scholarships weren't going to renewed.

I'd love for the NCAA to respond by having contracts only not renewed for cause (with cause not including on court production)

I used to think something like that was a good idea, i.e. you can't just kill a kid's scholarship because you want to bring in a better player. I also thought scholarships should be offered and guaranteed for four years, barring any disciplinary issues.

But now with the NIL money, I don't care. These are the professional athletes they wanted to be. It's a lot more honest than it was when it was pretending to be amateur athletics. If you can't get your money you should find another business just like any other professional.

One of our state head FB coaches tried to pull a scholarship of a kid who signed a 4 year scholarship but graduated in three. When the AD told him no, he just told the kid not to come to football anymore and just go to class. He got his masters this past May.

How has NIL changed the college baseball scene? I know prior to NIL even the best players at the top schools were footing the bill for some of their school and the overwhelming majority were only getting a sliver of a full scholarship.

One my good friend's sons is currently in the portal. He played for a low level D1 school last season and when he first announced that he was transferring my friend told me that a number of big time D1s was checking for him. One of them was a school in the SEC. It's been about 5-6 weeks and to the best of my knowledge he hasn't landed anywhere. I know they have to be worried.

The source of the problem can be traced back to AAU for a lot of these kids and there families. In AAU all kids do is switch teams all of the time. Whenever they feel that something isn't quite working for them they transfer to another team the very next week. This occurs until they find the right "fit". Which typically is any team that will "showcase" them and allow them to be the "man".

I'm guessing but it could be no one envisioned the flood of kids "hitting the market".

Just mentioned in the Nebraska game that they have 18 new players from the portal.

And i know it’s only northwestern, but they just went down the field like there wasn’t even a defense out there

Another rebuilding year for my cats.. Kind of painful watch right now to be honest.

Go cats.

you cats fans certainly gave up quickly, and then you didn't

they usually play well when expectations are low

As someone who has watched them for 40 years it’s painful. It just is. They are my college team but I’ve watched them suck a lot. They played well and took advantage of a few breaks and an awful
Nebraska coach. I watched the whole game with Nebraska fans. It became less painful as the game concluded. But they hurt me more often than not. I’ll still watch.
