I thought the portal was a "testing the water", maybe not. Anybody know if there is a requirement the transfer player must leave the conference where they are currently playing?
from the NCAA's website:
Beginning in October, Division I student-athletes will have the ability to transfer to a different school and receive a scholarship without asking their current school for permission.
The Division I Council adopted a proposal this week that creates a new “notification-of-transfer” model. This new system allows a student to inform his or her current school of a desire to transfer, then requires that school to enter the student’s name into a national transfer database within two business days. Once the student-athlete’s name is in the database, other coaches are free to contact that individual.
“The membership showed today that it supports this significant change in transfer rules,” said Justin Sell, chair of the Division I Transfer Working Group and athletics director at South Dakota State. “I’m proud of the effort the Transfer Working Group put forth to make this happen for student-athletes, coaches and schools.”
The previous transfer rule, which required student-athletes to get permission from their current school to contact another school before they can receive a scholarship after transfer, was intended to discourage coaches from recruiting student-athletes from other Division I schools. The rule change ends the controversial practice in which some coaches or administrators would prevent students from having contact with specific schools. Conferences, however, still can make rules that are more restrictive than the national rule.
If an EMU player puts his name in the portal, then he's not guaranteed a scholarship at EMU if he doesn't actually transfer out.
Nice post Alex. Thanks for the clarification.

I get the frustration and I’m certainly no MSU apologist, but they’re just playing within the rules. It’s a keep up with the Jones’ scenario.
