00:00Wiggy, do you think that there should be any kind of boundaries put on the portal?
00:05Because I know you're a big portal backer, but let's say for basketball, how many times can you enter the
00:11portal?
00:11No, the portal I think you should be able to transfer as many times as you want.
00:14Don't you think that's bad for college basketball?
00:16So why can the coach leave whenever he wants?
00:19You don't put no guardrails or boundaries on the coach?
00:23Yeah, I mean, because the coach is hired at will.
00:26Well, so now if a coach has the ability to leave whenever, why can't a kid do that?
00:32And let's stop with the stupid get a degree because a lot of these kids that go to college for
00:39four years.
00:39Yes, it's stupid to get a degree.
00:41A lot of kids, Greg, and we did this before, that go to school and get a four-year degree
00:47don't even use a degree in the field that they're in.
00:49I use my degree.
00:50Oh, yeah, one, I think the percentage, you're in the minority.
00:53The majority of people that went to school and got a degree in a specific field don't even use that.
00:59Well, I'm just asking because you said when Trump put forward, President Trump put forward the ideas about how to
01:05fix college sports, in his opinion,
01:07one of the things was saying that he was going to have like a five-year limit.
01:11I like that.
01:12I like the five-year limit.
01:13So how come you can put a five-year limit on a college athlete but you can't say, hey, you
01:17know what?
01:18You can only go into the portal twice.
01:20Like you can't go into the portal every year.
01:22No, I like the five-year limit.
01:23You got five years to play five years.
01:26It starts at 19 years old, you know what I mean, is what the number is because some kids might
01:32graduate early or whatever.
01:34So they're saying 19 to 24 years old.
01:36Once you get after 24 years old, then that is it.
01:40Unless there's like some significant injury that you dealt with, maybe you have to go before a board to kind
01:48of get a medical issue.
01:49So basically you're okay with every college athlete being a one-year free agent, basically.
01:54Yeah.
01:55I mean, that's what coaches have become.
01:57This is what I don't understand.
01:59If you are recruited by a coach and you choose to go to a school over other places, and then
02:05after a year, that coach leaves, the new coach doesn't like your game, and you're just supposed to sit there?
02:12No, I'm not saying that you should close down the portal completely.
02:15But I'm saying if we're going to put limits on other parts of the game, then why – I'm just
02:20asking Wiggy why he's opposed to putting any limits on the portal.
02:23Well, because I think with the portal, there are kids that get stuck in situations that they have no control
02:29of.
02:29And then you can move – let's say you can move twice.
02:32Right.
02:33But even then, you still get stuck in a situation.
02:35So I think the thing with the portal – and this is the way I see the portal.
02:42The portal is a place where kids can go, and if the situation doesn't play itself out – what a
02:49lot of people don't understand, and I'm going to give you the insight to this because a lot of people
02:53don't understand how it works.
02:55A lot of these kids that are in the portal are in the portal because the coaches don't want them
03:01there no more.
