By now we have all heard of the transfer portal, and most people believe they know it to be an evil force against the sanctity of college sports.

However, the portal itself is nothing more than an administrative tool that actually makes life easier for those that work tirelessly for their schools and student-atheltes.

We discuss an article highlighting the architect of the portal, whom we have crossed paths with, and explaining that it is not simply the "portal" that has changed our beloved college sports, it was inaction and inevitability. 

We explain more in today's show. Also, a check-in on College Basketball and what it would mean for an undefeated team of the two remaining to make it to the tourney without a loss.
