WHAT'S BROKE AND NEEDS FIXING. It's becoming painfully obvious that there are a plethora of things broke that need fixing when it comes to the NCAA. I'll take them one at a time and I'll start with the transfer portal.

Right now players have unfettered access to the transfer portal as it applies to the number of times they can move to a different school and be able to compete immediately. It is possible for an athlete to play at four and in some extreme cases five different academic institutions during their period of eligibility. That's what's broke and needs to be fixed.

Here's my remedy. Every athlete during their time of eligibility has one free move in the transfer portal from one college or university to another with no penalty. Just like it is now.

They would also get a second "get out of school free" portal move if their coach moves on for any reason. No change from what it is now.

Here's where I would tweak the portal rules. If an athlete wants to make a second or higher move to a different program they do not become eligible to compete at their new program for one year from the day they enroll. This will reduce the number of multiple transfers exponentially.

The fact that the NCAA hasn't done this already baffles me. If they're afraid of being sued by some lawyer for whatever reason the governing body of collegiate sports shouldn't cave but scream bring it on.

The basic premise of the NCAA in any case that would involve portal movement should be this simple. Every organization has rules. When traveling you have to go through security and possibly a pat down search. You may not like it but it's the rules. If you want to play in the NCAA domain here's the rules and if you move a second or more time you're going to have to sit a year. End of story.

Now it's up to the NCAA. Yes the genie is out of the bottle and you won't get a complete return to that scenario but you can create some limitations on what can be done. How about growing a pair now and creating some guardrails before this situation completely destroys the collegiate sports landscape.

Book it Dano!
