I don't think the guys in the portal are under the gun to pick a new destination, but...those who are exploring the NBA draft process have until May 29 to withdraw if they want to return to college next season. Some of them are actually in the portal while trying to be candidates for the NBA too. The times we live in.

College football has changed far more in the last year than basketball has. A new playoff structure, new conferences, and very clear writing on the wall that the G5 will be broken off from the P5. A lot more incentive (not to mention money) to move to a school on the top tier in football than in basketball.

Also spoke with someone in athletic department yesterday. Men’s basketball raised a little over $200K NIL dollars for this season. That’s nearly double from ago. Trending in the right direction.

This recent article explains it pretty good. https://herosports.com/fbs-washington-state-football-conf... / That doesn't really dive into the juice of the argument, which is WSU and OSU won their court case against the PAC 12 and have complete control of the board and how any remaining revenue in the conference would be distributed- including Washington's CFP berth and all of the PAC 12's NCAA Tournament win shares. An agreement of that revenue was reached in December, but wasn't disclosed. The prevailing rumor is that WSU and OSU will be set up very nicely for the future if any other conference decides to come calling for their services. They also control all of the PAC 12 Network, which will produce their games on The CW this coming season. For anyone who actually watched the P12 Network or had access, that's no small change as their production quality was top tier. We'll see how that shakes out with The CW deal, though.

If we could be sure he won't transfer to Auburn or Florida State or whatever school closer to his home town as soon as he gets the chance? We just got a verbal commitment from a Florida kid who is a top five recruit in program history. We have Florida and Georgia kids on the roster who apparently really like it here and are part of the core group. Could any leave in the future? Sure. But get that kid in the door to begin with and then worry about making your program worthwhile enough to stay.
