Baseball Transfer Portal

[Cajunchuck]

Being reported that Sam Riola has entered portal.

[JayWalker]

Yeah, we knew Sam was out. During his time of inactivity he reportedly got really homesick. I would imagine he'll play closer to his Minnesota home. At least that was the story I got.

[Cajunchuck]

I can see where Sam would like to be closer to home. Minnesota is a long way from here.

Let's face it, the portal with immediate eligibility has made building depth as a long term project a thing if the past for most college athletic departments - this just may be a thing of the past.

Depth will have to, for the most part, be created year in and year out by use of the portal.

It is what it is.

Is the one year sit out rule deleted permanently?

[Scott Malkinson]

Is the one year sit out rule deleted permanently?

Yes across all sports

Is the one year sit out rule deleted permanently?

Yes it is. But unless I’m mistaken, it only applies the first time an athlete enters the portal. Can anyone else confirm?

So under current rules you can basically have two free transfers without sitting out - once under the portal at any time (the one free transfer) and then again after getting a degree?

OK. But to get a 2nd transfer without having to sit out, an athlete would have to have earrned his/her degree? Is that right?

If he gets a degree, he gets to transfer without siting out. I am not sure that is the only way to get a second chance. Somebody else would have to give that answer.
