The NCAA’s October 2018 explanation of the new system calls it as such, not daring to give it a name that sounds as fun as TRANSFER PORTAL.

- Or create an actual Transfer Portal, which would look something like this, but probably better, because I don’t think anyone used this one:
I’m told this also has something to do with transfer portals, as well as school:
Well, that’s the end of the post.
