Episode 88: Transfer Portal Mania

With a recent rule change, collegiate athletes are no longer punished for transferring schools during their college careers. While this move is a vital step toward player empowerment, some people involved in college sports aren't as excited for these rule changes. We open up with reviews of The Northman, a Viking epic movie that will have a complicated legacy with cinema fans (2:15). Then John informs us which hit television show he is finally getting around to watching, six years late (13:10). As we get into sports, we start with the breaking news of Trevor Bauer's suspension by Major League Baseball, and why our lack of information is complicating our opinions (13:50). We wrap up part one by revisiting our episode about super-teams, and why they have all fallen short this season. For our big story, we explore the NCAA transfer portal (33:00). How has it benefited collegiate athletes, and why are the majority of coaches against it?
