Praying for a PG, a wing who can drive and shoot the 3 with a 40% clip and a solid big. With 1300 plus in the portal, we should get at least those three positions filled.
would also be awesome if they are here for the team to win like Grandison, not to impress the scouts in their one year.

I cannot believe that in 2023 people are still arguing that Free Agency, instituted in 1976, "ruined" baseball.
It’s only been 47 years. Give it time.

Read her posts on Facebook she’s had it with people’s negative comments about players. Been some good back and forth
I come here for that info! Seriously, I don't do Facebook and only look at Twitter if it's linked.
Also, I think it's reasonable for fans to question why a player leaves. He's a kid from small town rural IL getting an opportunity to be on u of I bball team. Sounds like a tremendous opportunity to me - present and future networking...

There are over 1300 players in the portal… it’s gonna be fine
Let's see... 365 Divison 1 teams at 13 scholarships a team comes out to 4,745. 1300 divided by 4745 is...27.3%...Over a quarter of the entire Division 1 roster is playing musical chairs. Not counting the graduates and NBA guys.

Yikes, that's a lot of turnover. I'm not worried about Illinois' losing spots and what that means for them, this is everyone.

While I don’t want to get caught up in a debate over the merits of MLB free agency, I have a hard time accepting a system where people are denied the ability to choose where they want to work, attend college, etc.
I didn't realize there used to be an NCAA draft. I was under the impression qualified prospects and their families or handlers chose which school to attend.

They were compensated with a valuable college scholarship and paid a very minor penalty for transferring.

Coaches (head and assistant) leave all the time. The next time you want to make any sort of change you go ahead and forfeit a year of your life since its a "very minor penalty".

population
1976 - 218 million
2019 - 328 million
Are those number totasl attendance or the number of distinct individual fans who attanded a MLB game.
Televison ratings are another index of popularity which would have to be considered

"“The reality is facilities have become a lot like our country, where the middle class is [dwindling] and there’s a larger upper class and a larger lower class,” said Samson. “When I am putting together a stadium, … I am actually – in order – focused on premium, then the lower tier of seats, and my last priority is the middle tier.”
