Agree in theory.Hard to argue the point that more players returning to college makes the college game better.
Debatable if no one is on the same team two years in a row.
That is frustrating!Hard to argue the point that more players returning to college makes the college game better.
While a 250 guy difference is substantial...it is less than one spot per college team. These 250 guys are vying to play for the top 100 teams...so those top teams are taking less freshmen. All but the top freshmen just move down within DI or into DII or JC and into the portal the end of the year. Just more competition for the top levels. It's a good thing.Also limits opportunity for high schoolers looking to play college ball.
While this might be a nice feature of what is happening, where this is headed is not sustainable and the idea that this is college sports is really, kind of a sham.
Also, it is very unlikely that this adds 250 more high end players to college basketball. In 2021 363 players went early entry but more than 60 college players backed out and among the 363 was a substantial number of internationals not at a college.

Maybe, but not sure a degree from UMD is as good in the job market as Michigan (purposely exaggerated).While a 250 guy difference is substantial...it is less than one spot per college team.

1. What percentage of college basketball players...with a couple thousand of them in the portal have any thought of a degree? I dunno the answer but I bet it's a minority.Maybe, but not sure a degree from UMD is as good in the job market as Michigan (purposely exaggerated).
2 And maybe controversial...if the job doesn't require a degree like a doctor, attorney, college professor, teacher etc...then how much value does a degree have in 2025?
I put an ad in on Indeed for a $20 an hour job....ran for 3 days a week ago and I got 50 plus applicants with college degrees...it was not a requirement. I also got a lot more applicants with "crew member DQ, McDonalds etc"
My point....lots of people with degrees looking for a better job then they have at $20 bucks an hour.
