Do all of these kids transferring think that if they just get the right coach or situation that they'll suddenly be a star and an NBA prospect? Or is it just the millenial way to avoid loyalty to any organization? Or are they so addicted to the attention they get when they announce their transfer and offers that they can't resist the temptation. I think it's all of the above.

Kudos to any kid that sticks with a school for 4+ years and graduates.

None of these kids are millennials, so that’s a bit misguided. They’re probably learning from the Baby Boomer/Gen X coaches that bail on their school for a better job as soon as it’s convenient.

Personally, neither bother me as long as both are free to do so. I’ve long thought it was horribly unfair that coaches could leave and coach elsewhere right away, but players had to sit out. So either both should be acceptable or neither should be acceptable. And I’d side with the former being best for everyone just like it is, you know, in the real world.

its dansplaining and eaglesam against the world on this stuff yknow?

players should be able to transfer during the off season for whatever reason they want. blaming millennials is dumb as hell because any current college player is a zoomer. millennials are 30 now. lets not culture war this stuff - because i assure you boomers are 100x worse than millennials

Can you blame the kids in a lot of situations? They've worked their entire lives to play D1 basketball yet they're supposed to just ride the pine and hope they are given an opportunity. Why sit and hope for a good opportunity to evolve when you can go find it somewhere else?

The school doesn't owe the kid playing time just because they sat on the bench for two years just as the kid shouldn't owe the school if the situation isn't what they were recruited into.

I'm 34 and I've watched enough qualified peers get passed over for promotions and opportunities. Those same people go find better jobs and make more money working elsewhere. Why do we blindly owe our employers anything? I do my job well in exchange for a salary. Either of us can end it at any time. I don't owe them the next 30 years because they gave me a job. It works both ways.

You can go ahead and blanket stereotype us younger people but we're just adapting to the environment older generations are in control of.

You want kids to stay 4 years? Give them a reason to.

To add to my last post: The NCAA runs college sports like a business nowadays yet people are shocked when the athletes make business decisions. You don't see athletes transferring 3 times in D3 cross country because there's no money at stake.
