Baseball Transfer Portal

Without some kind of salary cap it will most definitely get worse and you will have to think creatively to retain players.....there should be a rule if a player is a starter he can’t transfer to a bigger school just to transfer and if they do transfer they must sit out a year...Also each case should be looked at in depth for this situation. This portal and NIL has opened a Pandora’s box and there ain’t no stopping it. NCAA needs to adjust or it will go the way of the dodo

Schools are cheating now, what makes you think they will follow a salary cap?

I would like to see the year sitting out reinstated, but basing it on starting leaves too much to interpretation.

It is the change to immediate eligibility that has created the problems, not really the portal.

Correct with the right to play immediately the portal has exploded. There is no loyalty anymore.

Transfers will be up this year because;

NCAA passed a one time transfer sit out a year exemption for baseball April 2021.

Rosters were increased this year due to COVID, but scholarship limits were left the same. I believe rosters go back to normal next year. So, there are now extra players from each school looking for a roster spot and scholly money. Sort of like musical chairs.

So, the NCAA made it more attractive to transfer (don't need to sit out a year) while they cut roster limits.

With this transfer portal and with the Supreme Court ruling it is time that we move to a salary cap in ncaa sports and pay players... the transfer portal is crazy out of hand and also there is 0 commitment by young players to help build your program... the thought is if I can’t start right away here I will go else where...there needs to be contracts signed when signing ball players.... if you institute an athletic wide salary cap for athletes it will help the situation. The horse is already out the barn so we might as well make the changes and let folks know the rules and move forward. Face it college athletics is a business now and it should be treated as such.

Who pays for this and if there is a salary cap then you are right back to this point because everyone will be paid the same. If you don't have a salary cap then the schools with the most money will get all the best players and out bid everyone.

I had originally been told up to 21 maybe transfering out or not returning. I have now been told that number will be around 16. 14 in the portal and 2 possible players drafted. We will see what happens. Correct on Brock he is not in the portal and all indications are he will return. A few kids leaving have been a surprise and a few that was leaving and decided to stay is a surprise.

Not surprising all these kids are jumping ship. Its a tragedy but unfortunately the majority of the team does not believe in Deggs. They feel he is a phony and not genuine. Also, JT is despised by the players. It is what it is. Hopefully Deggs can find the right mix of players that are buying what hes selling. His last team didn't.

MAT has been saying this for a while yet every time he mentions it someone starts jumping on his post.

Let MAT toot his own horn he's an expert at it.

I remember Robe mentioning that people were not happy with Deggs after his first year or two at Sam, then Robe said something along the lines of just give him time and he will win. And guess what happened. I remember hearing complaints about the team not being tough enough and talented enough during the season, so maybe there needs to be a lot of players in the portal to bring in guys that do fit Deggs’s model. Didn’t seem to be enough OKG’s on the team this year.

A salary does not make sure everyone is paid the same.... it makes athletic departments basically have a GM who manages your cap space and you have to strategize how you will spend your money...salary cap just ensures you can’t go over a certain amount.
