    Not that they are here to play school, but how does transferring mid quarter/semester work? Does a guy from zona just drop classes, come to UW, work out/practice, and not have to start class until summer or fall quarters?

    It's all so fucked, imagine you're Fifita, you're a god on campus everyone loves you, Zona sorority strange throwing themselves your way, coach and system you believe in, primed for a season that will make you a Legend for all-time.

    And now because your coach was poached your foundation is completely rocked and uncertain.

    The new addition of players to the offseason musical chairs act isn't good for the sport in any capacity. Somebody is going to get caught holding the bag, fan engagement will plummet outside of like 20 schools.
    I completely agree with this. Not enjoying any of the "UW buying players from Arizona" stuff that's going on, but I understand that's how it works right now and you gotta do it to survive. Some actual, binding rules need to get established very soon on this. You can't have 24/7/365 free agency - this is all unsustainable. We're basically going to be cheering for the Arizona Wildcats in UW jerseys by the time this process is all said and done. I'm not going to remain a mega fan in the future if something doesn't change with the structure of the portal.
    There isn’t 24/7/365 free agency. UW and UofA players can portal because their coaches left.

    How is that not fair.

    If the portal's open you can hit it. Right now it might cost you some eligibility but that's gonna change. Hate to say it but, it's a free market and should have zero control regarding who or where a player goes.

    Mentioned it yesterday, but I don't think @PapaBrailsford is a fan of Fisch.

    Why do you say that?
    Retweeting a ton of negative Fisch posts.
    Guessing they had some recruiting interaction with him too.

    It's not about fair, it's about the sport morphing into a shitty product with an absurd attrition rate.
    The post I was responding to said there was 24/7/365 free agency and there needs to be rules.

    There are rules. This is an example of a good one. Your coach leaves then the portal reopens.

    No one gives a fuck about the type of "market", the goal isn't to extract the most value for labor or maximize efficiency...Its entertainment. Entertainment almost always is paired with the otherwise irrational expenditure of time and money. Entertainment requires lots of things significantly more complex than just basic supply side economics.

    Irregardless is a moo point. The ship has sailed and its never coming back but I have and will always be team boo the kids and fuck the coaches... Im here to be entertained, not be excited about Jadarnous O'Shea becoming a multi millionaire at age 16 for a commitment to USC in 3 years, only to bail when some coach in a visor sends the wrong emoji in their whatsapp group.
    It’s different for everyone I suppose. For me it’s about getting fucked up and not having my husband bitch at me for a few hours on a few Saturdays. Entertainment, aside from an hand full of years its entertainment value has been questionable. It’s now about max payment for player, coaches, and school, and max fade for me.
