That RB they got from JMU seems to indicate they can do it - and i think itll add another fold to roster construction - similar to how we (and other schools) use the JUCO ranks.

Dan you are passionate about athlete's rights and I indeed admire you for doing so. All FBS football schools should be indeed preparing players for a future career, the same as the Chemistry department does for the students in their program. You are spot on!

Here is my concern. With the new transfer rules, Maxx certainly a Power 5 defensive end, would have benefited from a transfer to U-M a year earlier than he left EMU. Chase Winovich, U-M's star DE at the time, would have become Chase Who? Maxx was clearly better. Yes EMU will get better with aggressive recruiting of P5 castoffs, but the likelihood of them of going to the NFL is minimal. After all if they could not make it in the B1G, why expect a huge future in pro sports? Taking a longshot chance on a skinny kid like Crosby with the transfer portal so rich? EMU and its like will no longer provide a future avenue for playing the game professionally.

As you have accurately stated before, NCAA sports do indeed survive and thrive no matter the changes. I just dunno about this, I never warmed up to Murphy's BB team in 2018-19 when he turned over almost the entire roster even though the new guys worked very hard. I like some degree of continuance and loyalty. Maybe I'm just a dinosaur.

And on the flip side - there is nothing stopping EMU from raiding 1-AA and Div II for good players.

Players are moving up and down from FBS --> FCS and FCS --> FBS.

This is good.

Dan and Steve you are probably right. NCAA schools are in the business of preparing attendees for future careers and the transfer portal is indeed an avenue for those to maximize their opportunities to do so. The Heisman Trophy winner and number one overall NFL draft pick two years ago would probably not have started a NCAA football game had he stayed at OSU. That would have been an abject failure of our college sports system for sure.

I'm just uneasy about the massive roster turnover and its effects on the fan base. I used to be a rapid NBA fan and now I rarely watch games, I only revel when the star assembled LA Lakers lose in the first round but I simply hate when the similarly orchestrated roster of the Nets are destroying the Bucks. I'm most likely wrong, sports will survive this turnover, but I may be their first fan casualty as I am indeed an old man set in his ways.

I agree. thankfully EMU hasnt been hit too hard. Following teams, especially in basketball has been tough.
