[QUOTE="TownesVanZandt_rivals, post: 130841892, member: 1606648"] Pretty much the NCAA compliance officer at the school. [URL]https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/3540649002[/URL] But here's the truth: The creation of The Portal, which is really nothing more than an electronic database for players to signal their intention to transfer, was only necessary because of the actions of the coaching industry itself. To understand that, however, let’s talk about what The Portal actually is and why it differs from how things used to work. Since last October, athletes who are interested in changing schools need only to inform the school’s compliance staff that they intend to transfer and want to be entered into The Portal. The school must comply within 48 hours, and once the athlete’s name is online, they can be contacted and recruited by anyone. That's it. That’s all The Portal does. Seems pretty reasonable, right? But it is a pretty big departure from the way things were handled previously. Prior to The Portal, an athlete wanting to transfer had to obtain a so-called "permission to contact” form signed by the school’s athletic director, which was necessary for the athlete to then talk to other schools. In most cases, this wasn’t a big deal. But the “permission to contact” forms were too often used as leverage — either schools wouldn’t sign them if they wanted to try to pressure the player into coming back or coaches would insist that if a player wanted to leave, they couldn’t transfer to particular schools or conferences. Those situations rarely worked out well. In fact, they became massive public relations blunders and a constant source of embarrassment for the NCAA. [/QUOTE]
