They're all gone....
If you don't think NIL and the transfer portal haven't transformed college sports, consider this: Already, Baylor has no players returning next year to its basketball team. None. They are all leaving one way or another:
-- 9 players entered the transfer portal: Josh Ojianwuna, Robert Wright III, Langston Love, Jalen Celestine, Jason Asemota, Kaleb Jackson, Marino Dubravcic, Omar Adegbola and Yanis Ndonga.
-- VJ Edgecombe will be in the NBA draft.
-- 5 players graduated: Jeremy Roach, Jayden Nunn, Norchad Omier, Davidson Hubbard.
That accounts for all 15 players on the 2024-25 roster. They are all gone. And this wasn't some dumpster-fire of a team-- they made the tournament and are not that far away from the National Championship in 2021. They even have a legendary and well-respected coach in Scott Drew.
The myth that there is a connection between these players and actual schools is hard to believe anymore....

I was a rabid Maryland fan... until they left the ACC. I tried to follow them in the Big 10, but it was not the same. And the game is not the same either. The "game" is not a game anymore
One look at the photo and all but two are African American or mixed race. They are in TEXAS attending a Baptist affiliated school. No offense but I would run far, far away. While basketball may have insulated them it might not be enough.
As to IPLaws point - the movements of teams from their traditional conferences may be lucrative to the school but it has damaged the game (all sports).
