Episode notes
Timing The Transfer Portal Matters
- Ryan Day objects to a single January transfer window because playoff teams would be disadvantaged while still competing.
- Michael Wilbon suggests simply opening the window after the championship (e.g., Jan 21) to avoid penalizing late teams.
Fairness Over Convenience
- Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon argue one portal window is fine but it must wait until every team's season is done.
- They stress fairness: coaches of playoff teams shouldn't be penalized by an earlier portal opening.
Transfer Portal Has Reshaped Roster Building
- Michael Wilbon estimates 60–65% of Division I players transferred over the last two years, highlighting portal-driven churn.
- He argues the portal is now a primary way teams are built and players move frequently.
