It is my understanding that this large stirring of the transfer-portal pot will return to some degree of normalcy next year when most hold-over players on teams from the Covid years extention have moved on. Am I right in assuming that transfer-portal players will, once again, have to sit out one year before transferring to another team in a year or so as they had to in the pre-Covid period. If true, this could reduce the lure of moving on to greener pastures.
I don’t have similar optimism on the NIL, although that practice is bound to run into a variety of bumps and starts, and players with false hopes might have to rein in their enthusiasm and, perhaps, look for ways to share the wealth with their teams. I can see how both practices could have negative effects on the college game, but I prefer a "wait and see approach" before before being drawn into a worst case future for women's basketball.
I’ve just enjoyed the sport so much over the last several years to want to be drawn into a dark spirit about it.
