Subject: Re: Ivy Sports/ The Portal/ Slots/Backlash Author: Go Green [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:11:57 04/23/24 Tue In reply to: M3 's message, "Ivy Sports/ The Portal/ Slots/Backlash" on 10:06:41 04/23/24 Tue My understanding is that if a coach uses an admission slot for a kid, but the kid ends up not playing for whatever reason (quits, injury, grades, etc.), that's tough luck for the coach. The slot is gone forever. I can only assume that the same will apply for when a slotted athlete leaves via the portal. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Ivy Sports/ The Portal/ Slots/Backlash Author: Memphis Bill [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:12:53 04/23/24 Tue Agree that this is another aspect of the Brave New World we are in that is sub-optimal (i.e., it sucks). One mitigating factor, from the perspective of the student who got into Ivy U without benefit of a sports slot, is the fact that Ivy Coaches cannot replace a player lost to the Portal with another player admitted via admissions slot. Another example of how disadvantageous the Portal is to our League, we lose some of our best talent, and cannot replace that loss in any way. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
