I think a certain percentage of those athletes would have not been on scholarship the following year before the portal. They either would have decided to quit due to lack of paying time or other...

I haven't seen any specific numbers recently but I'm the first couple years of the transfer portal I remember a number around 50% did NOT get a scholarship elsewhere. Some may have gotten walkons or...

I don't think it will change it that much. They are only so many who will watch it. It could see a slight bump, but being on ESPN, I don't see it getting to 3 or 4 million. Still like the move...

The number of scholarships increase. NAIA has fewer restrictions around recruiting so you'll have student athletes that maybe couldn't get accepted so many D2 schools. From a football perspective can...

I believe this is all taxable income, but I'm not 100% certain. Not sure why it wouldn't be. If you get scholarships that cover not then tuition and fees, that excess is also taxable.

You are considering Bloomington as Peoria. Although Peoria is only about 30 minutes from BloNo. BloNo is about 170k and Peoria MSA is about 400k. Downtown Chicago is only about 2 hours away.

Compared to Fargo, Normal is balmy. Yes, they'll get some cold and snow but similar to Indy their normal winter is like the one Fargo had this year. And BloNo is a pretty cool smaller city with a...

Indiana State had a great run this year with a young teen that was returning every starter. They blew a 7 point lead with 3 minutes left in the NIT championship game last Friday. The coach took...

They'll always believe they'll be on the right side of the 50%. The one thing I don't know is how many scholarship athletes did not return the following year with eligibility before the transfer...

Not necessarily. I believe somewhere around 50% of athletes who enter the portal don't get another scholarship somewhere.

Every school is essentially in the same boat. Even the top schools. Right now Louisville basketball has no players remaining from their 23-24 season. Until something is done to curb this, we'll see...

It's exactly why it existed. It was a deterrent. You were still allowed to transfer but there was a cost to doing it. That's why the NCAA didn't want to change it. It's good for the students but bad...

If they were here for the year they were paid, how is that fair or logical? They don't pay back the scholarship they got while attending that school if they transfer.

No. This is west of University a free blocks south of campus.

Not in the same way Butler or George Mason or TCU were. With the exception of a few teams, most schools don't make the Final Four very often. The P6 schools still have talent and depth which is why...

That 11 seed is a P6 team that struggled late (lost 7 of last 9) but then got hot at the right time. And got a couple breaks in the tournament.

Had to look him up. I went to high school with a pretty good player by the name of Jason Anderson, and he was at LSU in the early 90s but didn't play basketball there. There was a Justin Anderson...

Probably pretty high but it would represent the number of players on all teams that are now transfers. Basketball may be a much higher percentage than football. They already had the one and done...

The success of Nelson, Knecht, Jones (Purdue) is only going to increase the number of players at smaller mid majors to get to transfer to bigger schools. Seems much more impactful in basketball...

They should all be excellent Purdue is one of the favorites, but Gonzaga is playing well. NC State is not your typical #11 seed. The other 2 teams are evenly matched.

He's averaging 11.4 points and 5.4 rebounds. That's pretty good for someone who wasn't a primary scoring threat on the team.

I would guess both teams are preparing, and a flight is chartered to go either direction. Or everyone knows a decision has been made but not announced yet for some reason.

Being an official has hampered my ability to truly hate even the most evil of rivals. Except the Patriots. That one is deep.

Great location for fans! Tough match up though. Good luck to the Jacks! Was hoping they may come to Indy.

Another dumb uniform rule. Players can only wear white towels with a small brand or team logo. I have to tell a player he can't wear a black towel...while I'm wearing a black towel. That's one we...
