It Reminds Me Of -- Jomonelson 03/25/2021 6:27PM
Only thing different than past years is that players can advertise leaving -- 1980VT 03/25/2021 5:07PM
Past years you would have to sit out a year. -- crazylane 03/25/2021 9:17PM
The Covid rule or is it permanent? -- NMB Hokie 03/27/2021 11:14AM
I would love to know the answer -- crazylane 03/27/2021 2:04PM
Can you imagine out team this year if the portal didn’t -- GreenvilleVT 03/25/2021 5:02PM
In fairness... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 5:04PM
How does CMY's system get impacted if 1-2 starters each year are transfers? -- HokieAl 03/25/2021 5:14PM
Im not a fan of using portal players as the norm with MY -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 5:24PM
Aluma and mutts not on the team? Yeah we would have -- GreenvilleVT 03/25/2021 5:10PM
You're missing his point, they still would have transferred -- ShockWaveVT 03/25/2021 5:14PM
I am still missing his point. ** -- GreenvilleVT 03/25/2021 5:17PM
They would have transferred, just wouldnt have been put into the portal ** -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 5:22PM
His point is that the "portal" didn't change the rate at which players xfer -- ShockWaveVT 03/25/2021 5:22PM
The portal also makes it easier for players and coaches to connect. -- GreenvilleVT 03/25/2021 6:34PM
Furthermore... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 8:13PM
Seth Allen and Zach Leday were both pre-portal ** -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 7:11PM
Danger is the rich get richer -- AshburnFarmHokie 03/25/2021 4:52PM
Get caught recruiting for the portal and big time trouble. ** -- atlhokie1 03/25/2021 8:13PM
Lol! Yeah, NCAA will get right on that. ** -- King of Hokies 03/25/2021 10:13PM
Like everything else...... ** -- RJHokie 03/25/2021 10:21PM
Exactly -- crazylane 03/25/2021 8:03PM
Duke, Kentucky and even UnC haven’t used it well yet. -- GreenvilleVT 03/25/2021 5:06PM
I actually wonder if the portal has hurt players more than discussed.... -- HokieSignGuy 03/25/2021 4:48PM
I get your point but there does need to be a balance of what is fair to -- JACHokies 03/25/2021 4:46PM
The year sit-out certainly made the decison a little more difficult. -- HokieSignGuy 03/25/2021 4:53PM
I think it is fair to have free flow and in fact your suggestion has more -- JACHokies 03/26/2021 06:30AM
Wow...pretty much our whole team this yr were transfers ** -- JoesterVT 03/25/2021 4:43PM
Is it really the portal?Or is it not sitting out a year?I frankly like the -- HokieBrazil 03/25/2021 4:40PM
This is correct, it's the not sitting out a year that's killing NCAA sports -- soflahokie 03/25/2021 4:47PM
Why isn't it good for college basketball? Because of the 'turnover' in -- JLuge76 03/25/2021 4:32PM
I don’t know if it completely damages the game, but it begins to put -- HokieSignGuy 03/25/2021 4:38PM
No offense, but that's nonsense -- Beerman 03/26/2021 1:41PM
If school loyalty is such a big thing... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 4:42PM
In fairness, players move more than coaches ** -- 133743Hokie 03/25/2021 8:50PM
Not by percentage...not even close ** -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 9:05PM
How many teams have a player leave vs. how many have a coach leave? ** -- 133743Hokie 03/25/2021 11:25PM
How many coaches are there? -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 11:41PM
How many players are there and how many leave when coaches aren't leaving? ** -- 133743Hokie 03/26/2021 08:48AM
Around 1,400 coaches and 4,500 players -- GCHokie34 03/26/2021 09:03AM
Interesting that there are those that care so much on this board to get -- hokieblitz 03/26/2021 09:12AM
You make too much sense for this board! It's much better to demonize kids. ** -- NokieHokie 03/26/2021 09:31AM
Because the funders of SCHOLARships have been sold that these are -- VTCALS72 03/25/2021 7:41PM
Track has a path like that sponsored by Nike - you run pro track sponsored -- UpperQuad 03/25/2021 8:58PM
You become vanderbilt ** -- atlhokie1 03/25/2021 8:14PM
It appears to me more and more schools are becoming Vanderbilt and zero -- VTCALS72 03/25/2021 8:33PM
All youd do is ensure VT never lands any quality athletes... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 7:56PM
Sure, we would be essentially D III -- VTCALS72 03/25/2021 8:02PM
Again...have at it ** -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 8:03PM
So what do you think it would look like if about 100 of the 125 ish -- VTCALS72 03/25/2021 8:05PM
Just because teams.... -- 2hhoop3 03/25/2021 8:31PM
For the majority of them I would agree but the nfl is a pipeline and they -- VTCALS72 03/25/2021 8:36PM
They wouldnt... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 8:09PM
Not trying to scare anyone andI am talking hypothetical but as time goes on -- VTCALS72 03/25/2021 8:31PM
No aversion to either one.... -- 2hhoop3 03/25/2021 5:44PM
Like dogs? good Lord. I've heard the same annoyances at coaches leaving -- HokieSignGuy 03/25/2021 4:51PM
See Williams, Buzz ** -- HOHKIE 03/26/2021 11:57AM
The players are not there for the same reasons as students. It's not crazy -- NokieHokie 03/25/2021 5:01PM
Not sure what websites youre frequenting... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 4:54PM
Exactly! ** -- NokieHokie 03/25/2021 4:59PM
The portal giveth, and the portal taketh away. -- Zanderhokie 03/25/2021 4:28PM
Agree - fans love the portal when we get a good player and dislike it when -- Walkin` Willie 03/25/2021 5:34PM
So we'll mark you down for against the next high-caliber transfer to VT ** -- LonghornHokie 03/25/2021 4:16PM
I think it levels the playing field -- VT94 03/25/2021 4:05PM
Lol -- VT Pops 03/25/2021 3:49PM
I thought we are supposed to be a fan of "the team" not the players. ** -- NokieHokie 03/25/2021 3:48PM
For the 3,745th time... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 3:47PM
@GCHokie34 I have a recommendation for you. When people say -- King of Hokies 03/25/2021 5:25PM
Do you think when The Bear had 200 freshmen they didn't transfer? -- NMB Hokie 03/27/2021 11:27AM
Agree, lost a lot of interest in NFL when 20% of my team changed every yr. -- atlhokie1 03/25/2021 8:19PM
Yet they love the transfers in... ** -- NokieHokie 03/25/2021 5:58PM
A bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy there... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 5:27PM
Please ignore..... -- 2hhoop3 03/25/2021 6:06PM
Yep. Transferring from one D1 to another -- King of Hokies 03/25/2021 10:03PM
Do you have ..... -- 2hhoop3 03/25/2021 5:49PM

You are not correct according to this NCAA website -- Apex-Hokie 03/25/2021 4:42PM
This graphic is from that website... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 4:46PM
I'm curious, has this been going on since the 70's/80's and if not, when -- coshokie 03/25/2021 4:08PM
Vt had almost no transfers in the early 1980s. More in mid-to-late 1980s -- UpperQuad 03/25/2021 9:06PM
Around 2004... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 4:11PM
I'm guessing some of us older fans are somewhat comparing to years ago -- coshokie 03/25/2021 4:24PM
Haha yeah... -- GCHokie34 03/25/2021 4:27PM
I'm sure it was national news when Eddie Lucas transferred in from Navy. -- Hokies23 03/25/2021 6:51PM
Did David Robinson transfer away from Navy? ** -- NMB Hokie 03/27/2021 11:32AM
