Zac Schultz:
Do you have concerns that the transfer portal has changed some of the relationship, with the fact that they aren't four-year students? You don't follow someone coming in all the way through their senior year, that some of these players are here on campus for maybe eight months?

Chris McIntosh:
Mm-hmm. I think there are pros and cons with the transfer portal. I mean, do I miss the days when a player is here for four or five years? I do. I mean, I benefited from a system like that. I can see the merits of it. I can see the connection that those players have with the university, and the connection the university and our fans have with that player. I worry today, in terms of the volume, the amount in which players transfer the number of institutions that they're attending. I worry about the educational mission and what that means for them. But at the same time, I can't deny the opportunity for a student athlete to participate in a new system in which they can benefit in many ways, one of those financially, and try to find success for themselves. And so, it's a mixed bag. It's not the perfect system. Like the chancellor, my hope is that there will be stability in the future. I don't think this is the ideal system, but it's one that has created a lot of opportunity for a lot of students. It's also one in which a lot of student athletes have sought opportunity and not found it.

Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin:
Right. I share those concerns. I mean, I absolutely understand that students within a system are going to look for where they're going to find the best option in all kinds of ways — financially, in terms of playing time, in terms of fit, even in terms of education, all of the above. But I do worry when I see students going to four or five schools in four or five years, that we are losing something about what it means to be a student athlete connected to a specific place.
