What it's like for athletes in the portal

from The AM/DM · host The Daily Memphian

In the last few years, one of the largest changes to college football — and basketball, too — is the number of student athletes changing schools between seasons. The NCAA transfer portal began in 2018 as a way to streamline the process of allowing student athletes to tell their current school they're planning to leave and let other schools know they are interested in moving.  Today, Tigers football beat reporter Frank Bonner joins us to talk about what it's like for athletes inside the portal.  Plus: The City Council approves Kevin Woods to the MLGW board Nike will lay off nearly 600 employees in Memphis Claims allege that the Grizzlies owner's company supplied the Russian war effort
