The 2000

Into the transfer portal...
Sad little secret...Less than 4% of college basketball players will ever play pro ball at any level...NBA, European, whatever. Pro football is much worse, as only 1.7% of players will ever play pro football of any kind.
To make matters worse, the transfer portal has created a field of dreams that caters to only the best players. Of the 2000 football players who entered the portal,very few will be accepted by a new school. Many will go back to their old team, but the majority of those guys will hit the bricks as they are not as good as they think they are.
The greatest benefit to playing college ball, if you're not drowning in NIL money, is a free education. To get ahead in life for greater than 98% of these players, they need that college degree.
There must be some mechanism create, that still give the player NIL money if he can get it and allows him to change schools if he wishes, but still guarantees free access to his degree.
