The NCAA Transfer Portal created total chaos in college athletics this season with hundreds of players leaving their schools for supposedly greener pastures.
The one-year transfer rule implemented by the NCAA in response to the pandemic only exacerbated this problem.
Perhaps no sport feels the pains of the portal more than college basketball right now as 1,573 student-athletes were listed in the portal last week in men’s basketball alone.
College basketball’s second oldest active coach, former Clemson head coach and current Coastal Carolina head coach Cliff Ellis does not like the rule but knows in today’s culture you adapt or get left in the dust.
