According to ESPN, the NCAA is considering allowing schools who have been hit hard by transfers to go over the yearly 25-player signing limit. None of the details are finalized yet, but is clear that they did not appreciate the impact of the portal and the one-time transfer rule. Even though they don't mention any schools in particular, the story spells out essentially what happened to UT, and also what could happen to us again, and to any other school in the country. Since players can essentially transfer without penalty, a coach should consider that his entire team is potentially in the transfer portal at all times. I hope that if they try to help fix things, that it isn't too late to help us.
I live in Chattanooga and before it ever came to be a thing, coach Mack McCarthy said on our local talk radio sports program that the transfer portal was a disaster in the making. Coaches have to recruit for the future, and no coach can recruit for the future not knowing who is going to be there. I don't like the current state of things either. I feel like if a kid wants to transfer, there should be some kind of price to pay. What we have is football free agency, and it seems to run counter to what has always appealed to me about college football.
