The NCAA has officially voted to shorten the transfer portal window for college basketball from 45 days 30 days

15 fewer days don't mean much I suppose when big programs are just back-channeling kids all season.

NCAA getting rid of NLI.

Just going to be scholarship/finacial aid agreements.

Wonder if there is going to be an NLI window now?

Boo!

 

[porterBrown]

Why? Curious, just less teams included?

Firstly I think it's just someone messing around. Secondly, I've got no problem with Val. Basketball rules the conference and we just happen to have the best basketball conference in America. Don't see that changing in the near future and we're doing it with 11 schools, not 18.

The Big East is terrific, it is not the best conference in the country.

Maybe 3rd, perhaps even 4th.
