I support increasing student-athlete freedom. Changes like the transfer portal increase opportunities for student-athletes to make changes to better fit their needs.
I don’t know about the ruination of which you speak, but I am far, far more concerned about student-athlete success than I am about having a good college sports product to watch.
I will support the University of Utah’s athletics program regardless of its quality or whatever the measure might be that defines ruin/non-ruin.
