2026 Transfer Portal Chaos/Madness Thread

@nuleafjhawk yup. Exactly. Or teachers and journalists (real ones)

@BShark his first name is zoom?

Not trying to bring politics to the thread, but El Jefe has issued an executive order to regulate college sports.
It includes a one time transfer rule. A second attempt requires the player to sit out a year.
I’m gonna guess most college sports fans really dislike the yearly free agency and wouldn’t mind seeing the executive order stick.
(I can make this a separate thread if anybody cares to weigh in)

@crimsonblu22 Yes we recruited him out of highschool and Tony Bland recruited him to Washington. Pretty good player. Kind of like a deluxe version of Council.

I read some stuff that said it will basically amount to nothing and is completely unenforceable. It is just showing Congress what the NCAA and others want in a federal bill by using Trump as a proxy.

Yea, much of it already shot down in previous court battles.
But the “stick” is the threat to pull federal funding from schools.
But it does sound like an attempt to get NCAA leaders to rethink their sh*t.

@rockchalkjayhawk I will not make any comments (as of yet) about my opinions about our current political state of affairs. But I am in favor of this bill.

@Jayhawk_69 There is no bill, only the executive orders. As is his custom, President Trump is attempting to create another wide swath of executive authority by fiat rather than by making a legislative proposal to Congress. He cannot revise antitrust law by executive order, nor can he demand concessions by funding cutoffs not related to the authorizations creating those funds. He can try, but courts are curtailing his reach in doing so right and left. As with the law firms who capitulated, some schools will try to voluntarily impose these limits on their students but there is no hope that courts will not continue to find liability. An EA is no defense. More likely, schools will realize they face legal substantial liability if they comply and will sue to enjoin enforcement by DOJ. Bottom line, the president cannot compel people to break numerous laws.

As far as Haslem, I'd say Lebron was one of the leaders as well, barking orders at Mario and doing his talcum powder thing. Things people accept because you're the best player on the team.
You're only focusing on what you see on the court. Team and franchise leadership also includes practices and off court stuff that the general public never sees. Guys like Collison and Haslem didn't spend their entire careers including many as DNP's for no reason. There's a reason why despite not being star players, each franchise retired their numbers. That doesn't happen without those guys being viewed as franchise leaders for many years.
