The transfer portal is ruining college basketball — or saving it


This is college basketball's equivalent of outfielder Juan Soto jumping from the Yankees to the Mets or quarterback Sam Darnold bolting the Vikings for the Seahawks. It's a battle for eyeballs. And (at some level) college basketball is winning. But have I told you that I hate the transfer portal? Because I do. Waiting your turn is no longer an option. (WDRB)
