Episode 202: Former Auburn AD Jay Jacobs on 'The Portal Pushdown'

The NCAA Transfer Portal let's college athletes enter the world of rainbows and butterflies, making all their dreams come true, and solving all their problems...right? Well, maybe not. On today's show, former Auburn University Athletics Director Jay Jacobs joins the discussion to outline a report that he and the team of experts at AD Advisors and Timark published showing that the vast majority of athletes actually move down - NOT up - when it comes to transferring. What are the implications for athletic departments? How should coaches communicate this? And, could this be part of the equation that helps keep college athletes at their original schools?
