Subject: Re: Why Enter The Portal? Author: Bengal [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:58:32 04/15/24 Mon In reply to: M3 's message, "Why Enter The Portal?" on 06:48:03 04/15/24 Mon M3: I would add, a few kids may believe that they have a chance to play professionally and would enhance those chances if they transfer elsewhere. And there are sometimes people whispering in their ear about it. Other kids may want to prioritize their playing time over their perceived value of an Ivy degree, especially if they can transfer to an academically strong school. Occasionally, hopefully rarely, a family situation may infringe on an Ivy athlete's decision because he/she would like to try to be closer to home.

[> [> Subject: Re: Why Enter The Portal? Author: Ivy Patriot [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:47:50 04/15/24 Mon Here's why. If you don't play more than four games as a freshman you maintain your redshirt season per current NCAA rules. You can then graduate in four years and use your fifth year at the next level. It's a perfect scenario. Your freshman year is essentially a redshirt season allowing you to get bigger and stronger in the weight room while you adjust to college athletics and academics. Then you play three years, collect your Ivy League degree and go on to the big-time with a chance to impress NFL scouts and collect NIL to boot. What's not to like? If I had it to do over again, that's exactly what I would do. (A version of this got buried in another thread.) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
