Portal Talk

Over 20% of Division 1 college basketball scholarship athletes have entered the transfer portal. This has provided unprecedented freedom for players, but a whirlwind of confusion for fan bases. In this episode, we try to untangle whether this new era of collegiate free agency is good for sports and how fans should measure success. We discuss:

• The success of the Virginia baseball team and looking ahead to the NCAA tournament
• Fan angst about how the transfer portal and NIL are changing the college sports landscape
• Brennan Armstrong and Robert Anae's performance in the NC State spring game
• Changes that would improve the fan experience for spring games
