Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 4141317, member: 622"] The agreement to play in exchange for an education is a contract. Players that leave early are in breach. Realistically, the coaches know the kid does not want to be there (playing time, opportunity, grades, etc.), there is no reason to enforce the agreement, they agree to break the contract. A few schools may take back a kid after he enters the portal but there is no obligation on the school to do so. As has been discussed, many kids will realize they are giving up a scholarship for life. Adulting is hard. The portal will settle down in time. Once players realize they are giving up more than a uniform and may be risking having to pay for school, they will think twice. The stars will have opportunity if they have no other issues, the grad students will likely have few issues, but the average kid will not be trading up and may be giving up a free education. [/QUOTE]
