Combining NIL with the transfer portal was the killer combination, and that transfer portal was 100% self-inflicted by the NCAA. By doing that, they’ve not only destigmatized and eased leaving a school, they’ve actually incentivized it. That’s not just bad for sports, it sets a bad example for society: not only does not keeping your commitments not cost you anything, but it also gains you financially.</blockquote>
