I honestly hope everyone gets to experience what competitive college athletics is like either as a player or a coach, so they know what's acceptable or not at a level where winning matters

Majority of d2”s don’t offer 10 full scholarships Majority of naia”s don’t offer 8 full scholarship So if they are offering you a full you better appreciate it because they think highly of you

Derrick White was a problem at the D2 level! Going from a D2 walk-on, to NBA Champion, to making the Team USA roster is insane #marathon

Portal: Really has created a trickle effect for years....???
Nice to see D2/3s reaping benefit of transfer portal. Players are choosing to go where they will maximize opportunity to play. That said, 1) it may affect options for HS players 2) all college levels will become even more competitive thus, growing the game
