The NCAA's Transfer Portal Will Change College Sports Forever

I am fascinated by the NCAA's Transfer Portal for so, so many reasons, not the least of which is that it has a name taken from Star Trek and then applied to the comings and goings of college athletes to various universities.

The NCAA seems to hope that one day the Transfer Portal will in fact be an actual science fiction transporter capable of whisking away teens from Texas A&M to Utah State, because otherwise why in the hell would they use a graphic of a padded-up college athlete disintegrating into the ether and presumably reappearing before a booster wielding a wheelbarrow full of cash?
