Just saw this and assume it's correct. The NCAA will allow a second transfer, without sitting, through the 23-24 school year. Could be good news for us. Was discussed already, bad for us |

Based on what Tobin said about recruiting freshmen I don’t think he believes this. He seems to think you may be able to get a kid to love their situation so much that they won’t leave for more money. Is he being ignorant? I’m hoping he is right, though I am skeptical. Iona does have some qualities and history that could make us be an exception to the rule. |

The NIL and transfer shit will get worse before this is done. With that said, I don't see How this helps SJU that much. In the end the schools will be able to pay players directly and this thin veil of bullshit, trying to mask itself as being run separate from the schools will just go away. When that happens the schools with the deepest pockets will be able to dominate. SJU is a middle of the road Big East school from an endowment perspective. In fact, the Big East is not really any better of than the A-10 financially.  I think the power conferences will stop at nothing to crush mid majors and even the Big East, as they want a tournament with only Power 5 teams. They also have all the pull with the NCAA because of the football money. I will shocked if the Big East is intact within 10 years. I think The ACC will come in and scoop up Georgetown & NOVA as those schools would feel they would be mixing with their academic peers by joining (Duke, ND, Virginia, Wake, & GT) and I can see UCONN jumping to the ACC or even the BIG 10 due to their crazy football dreams. |

He has shown he knows how to build a basketball program, but we are in uncharted waters. I’m hoping he sees a path that is hard for those on the outside to envision. |

It makes every mid and low major more of being “developmental” conferences for the Power 6. Before this change we could and still can lose the strength of the team, our freshman class, as they would fall under "their first transfer" category. At least if that happens there will be a larger Portal Pool for potential replacements. At least, that is how I see it. |

Problem is when a program like Iona received a commit from a transfer, there was a bit of security since if the recruit wanted to transfer again he would have to sit, so he likely stays at least until he's a grad transfer. New rule a kid can now transfer to an Iona, but can now transfer after just one year without fear of needing a waiver. |

sharkey, true, but it gives us a pool of potential replacements for players that leave. Before this change it was a smaller pool. And we have the advantage of having a HC that is an excellent recruiter. Think short term rather than long term.

Think short term rather than long term. 59, yes the pool available may be larger, but the more talented will transfer up and the less talented will transfer down. This basically consolidates all the $$ and power at the top. I envision the NCAA Basketball Tournament becoming much like football... we'll see the same Sweet Sixteen every year. Sadly, the NCAA has managed to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. |
