College sports' current issues with the transfer portal stem from an old adage: pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.
If you listen to some coaches and administrators right now, they are being slaughtered by players who can transfer a single time without having to sit out a season and, in turn, the boosters and coaches at opposing schools enticing them to move with promises of money and playing time.
Whether this proves to be a real problem — or just a lot of howling in the face of change — remains to be seen.
It was just 13 months ago the NCAA passed the so-called “one-time transfer rule” which no longer required athletes to have to sit out one season of competition if they moved schools.
