So so sad to lose another good player to transfer.  Ween really needs to study this and what’s causing them to leave.  If they were happy at UNT they would not be leaving in such large numbers.

I understand what you are saying, but all of the women transfers have landed at lower tier programs. This is the first to land at a top tier conference. The others I can accept because they were either looking for playing time or got crossways with Coach Mitchell. This one is hard to accept because she had playing time. I am sure they told her she would get better exposure and a better chance at the WNBA or playing overseas. Neither amounts to good money unless you are the best out there or have something else to sell. It sucks that the NCAA doesn't stop this illegal recruiting of players and I know they won't when it's coming from the "Power Conferences."

Not sure the NCAA bureaucrats up in Indianapolis really thought out the short & long term ramifications of creating this rule.  ••• What the portal rule doesn’t create is a sense of loyalty to the schools who first believed in this portal crowd enough to offer an initial scholarship to them in the first place subsequently—it just looks like some other school gets to eat the best part of a 🍰 cake that someone else spent all night baking?

Being happy at NT is a nebulous factor.  In her mind, she is probably making a big jump to a much more recognized sports program.   Unless you fault NT for not being in the B12 or SEC, I don't see how you think any CUSA team can be blamed for losing recruits to major conferences.   

Plus what large numbers, with the Boyd exception who has Mitchell lost that would have significantly contributed next year?  The same with McCasland.  The players he lost were ether graduates taking advantage of the extra year or players that probably were edged out the door.  

Unfortunately I highly doubt we have seen the end of this, the way the rules now work; it is going to be difficult to keep any great players unless they have used all their transfer ability.

Wow, this decision sure bit N'Yah on the tail.

She left a program where she was a star player having the time of her life and transferred to a school where she sits unhappily at the end of the bench for a cellar dweller. N'Yah has zero points, zero rebounds, zero steals, and zero assists riding the pine through the last four games while playing 2.5 minutes in each, all losses.

Whoever thought this quick transfer/be eligible now rule would ever be used for its original intention do remind me again what that original intention was? 
How will this ever help any G5 program is still beyond me.  It still reeks of a minor league farm club existence for those not in the P5.

The original intent as I understood it was - coaches get to leave due to get a better job (or they're fired), and it was unfair that players would be stuck there.  When this system was first proposed I think it was only meant to be for players in that situation (the coach they signed with is gone), but it quickly got to include everyone.

I wonder what happened because she seemed to be doing fine early in the season.

Who knows, maybe she really enjoys OK State and it was the school she always wanted to attend. Hopefully she's enjoying her time there

      When are we going to hear some good news?

      Obviously, we fans do not know; how could anyone know? It maybe an excellent assumption just based on NT apparently can't keep anyone, but there is no way to verify this. I can't believe that any of the AAC teams have a substantially edge in NIL funding other than Memphis and SMU. There is something else going on other than the NIL factor. Has anyone else noticed that there are a great number of players entering the Portal, but at this time; very few have been identified as committing or signing with another team. My guess or maybe just my hope is that NT is in much better shape than the fans recognize. Players have committed whether they are transfers, high schoolers, or those that have entered the portal and not found a better home.

      Nothing is off the table per new AAC commish

      I tried this and it did NOT go over well. It probably had something to do with the timing: I said it right after the boss said "I'll be right back. I need to use the restroom."

      What I don't understand: How do we know our NIL is underfunded compared to our conference mates and other peers when the financials don't have to be publicly reported?

      Meet today's 2024-25 Mean Green???

      That is a trick question. Few players that sign at any school other than the very top tier (SEC, Big East, etc.) schools would not desire to be part of those elite programs. Likewise, by signing with any team that player has expressed his desire to play for that team. So there is no way, a kid? (player) would sign at any school if he did not want to be there. Maybe not his first choice or in his top hundred; but based on what is available to him; it was decided it was his best option.
