With recent changes in university athletics, there could be a change in transfer rules for athletes.
The sports director of Virginie-Western, Wren Baker, is an supporter of change in university athletics concerning the rules of the transfer portal, and he hopes that this can be one period.
“I think that January is when it makes the most meaning. Listen, people speak, well, there is a disadvantage and an advantage if you are on a quarter system. These schools get an advantage. Well, which brought us here first, is trying to create something that was equal there, but it is impossible to do it.
The recent house regulations give schools for 20.5 million dollars to share with their students athletes, however, some schools tried to pay athletes before the entry into force of the regulation.
“We had this unregulated period before the regulations were put in place, and therefore everyone made these offers where they paid athletes in advance. He exploded the market, like all these things. Different people have done different quantities of front loads. Portion, and they think, hey, we will clean this portal because we have not used all this.
Baker said that many of that had happened throughout the dry, for example, when this unregulated period before the implementation of the colony set up these schools.
The effect of this concept means that there is a repression on the moment when the portal period is open for football, the Big Ten going for an April portal period. Baker said it was everything for a winter gate period, and that’s where it thinks it ends.
“I think that if you look at holistic ways on what is the best date, take this aside. I think most people would say that January makes the most sense. I think that is where it is landing. I don’t think you can create rules and a system for what is a unique type of anomaly that we already have to face.
Baker said that it was the most meaningful place for schools as well as for student-athletes, and recognizes that no system will be perfect.
“And what makes sense for the greatest good is a portal window. And probably what is the fairest for student-athletes is that it is in January,” said Baker.
