2024 Baseball Transfer Portal

[cajundiehard]

Softball only has two in the portal. Compared to other schools that is great. From my understanding we aren't expecting to lose any more. However things could always change.

Which 2?

. . . However things could always change.

nice hedge

[sportsfanatic21]

they have demonstrated they can’t win it all

players in the portal want to win it all

who does not want to win it all

is there something really wrong with that

I don’t blame the players at all. The system is what it is. And like I said, it’s a sad state of affairs.

A 250 school minor league affiliate for 40 or so schools to pluck from.

[UL_Cajuns]

no coach is going to retain any kid offered real NIL

only in a dream would that happen

We can reload and use the portal also. Just have to play the game.

[UL_Cajuns]

there never has and there will never be an immunity from $$$$$

$$$$$ rules the world

if you haven’t figured that out yet and come to peace with it, you will be forever miserable

It took me until 40 years old to accept that money rules all and that was only 3 years ago. Control what you can control, play the cards your dealt, constantly try to improve yourself and family, and be thankful for what you have and to be alive and healthy while you are healthy. So much easier now.

Which 2?

Samantha Greater and Taylor Roman.

playing the game is tough when most in the portal worth getting are either young and unknown or are looking for money which we don’t have

we can’t outbid anyone, we can only get those nobody with money wants

[Cajunchuck]

Samantha Greater and Taylor Roman.

I thought Taylor had retired from playing due to injuries. Is she trying to resume her playing career? Not surprised about Samantha G.

Yes she is trying to resume her career.

Hopefully our Diamond Sports can maintain immunity from portal losses.

The portal is one reason I've totally lost interest in football and basketball as a Cajun fan. Hard to develop continuity and a following with the constant loss of the best players in those sports.

The NIL landscape and portal changes are why I’ve lost interest in almost all Cajun sports.

[CajunVic]

things are tougher for our university through no fault of there on so let’s quit on them

that is a novel approach for long term success

The NIL landscape and portal changes are why I’ve lost interest in almost all Cajun sports.

I'm slowing leaning that way.

[TammanyCajun]

I'm slowing leaning that way.

I used to get so excited for media days and fall camp. Now, what’s the point? If we get too good, our players get purchased. It’s no longer about student-athletes. Now, these are semipro players who happen to be in school. Hopefully the fan apathy will push change but I doubt it.

[CajunVic]

fan apathy will do nothing towards depriving athletes of their constitutional right to earn money

It has already been ruled upon

failure or refusal to understand that this will not change back again to what it was before NIL just serves to make one more miserable over something out of their own control if they are not willing to assist with NIL

objecting to the same thing over and over and over again when there will be no change on the part of either side but expecting one is a the definition of insanity

The NIL landscape and portal changes are why I’ve lost interest in almost all Cajun sports.

It’s happening across the country. Especially parents of college age children. Why give money to a stranger when your own child, or even grandchild, needs help.

Not to mention, no “love” in returned.

Would not call it apathy. More in line with investing wisely and common sense.

I have friends that were big TSAB and other SEC program donors that have stopped for that exact reason. Poor investment strategy.

Eventually the dominoes will fall. Semi pro football will end up like the G league and MILB and such in a few decades.
