The NCAA desperately needs "political" support -- both from actual politicians and the general public. Its president, Charlie Baker, is a former politician and surely understands this. Why it keeps barreling ahead with an unpopular and unnecessary change that weakens support remains baffling. The additional money is minimal.

Latest: NCAA President Charlie Baker is pushing for a legal tampering window that would allow coaches to contact players before they officially enter the Transfer Portal, per multiple sources. The rule would create a designated period prior to the portal opening where communication between coaches and potential transfers is fully permitted, similar to the NFL’s free agency window. Right now, that contact is not allowed. This proposal would formalize and regulate conversations instead of leaving them unofficial. During that window: • Players could speak with programs and understand their options before entering • Coaches could evaluate and recruit transfers openly and within the rules The intent is to replace illegal backchannel recruiting with a structured, transparent system. If passed, it would significantly change the timing and flow of the Transfer Portal. #TP4PT #TransferPortal
