Transfer Portal and How It Has Changed College Sports

[Poppa San]

I've wondered recently why the power 5 conferences even pretend to listen to the NCAA. I expect in a decade or three there to be the 4-5 big conferences with 20-25 schools in each. They'll tell the NCAA to shove it and set up their own governing body. The NCAA will exist to mediate the rest of the 200 or so schools with athletics. It'll go the way of the NAIA.

Sadly, you're probably right. Maybe less time than that, the way it looks.
