JF comment re the transfer portal and how fast players are moving was striking. he said some guys are in there under 2 days and then gone to another school. His comment was that is almost impossible to move that fast, and contact pre-portal is illegal (I think he mean under NCAA regs).
I found this amazing......2 days is impossible if you are doing all the normal process to make this happen. Heck 2 days is tough even for first contact.
The one tweak would be to go back to force the players to sit a year. Leave the transfer portal process, but just don't let them play for a year. That takes the TP role as a way for teams to build via free agency with instant team. i think most of the coaches would favor that rule. The NCAA would have to punish the violators, and make sure their contract was solid with the schools, so there were no loopholes.
At the end of the day the TP is nothing but a website and database along with some workflow system. Without players being able to be instantly playing it loses some of the magic.
