And you thought last year was crazy. Transfer portal crazy. Record-breaking crazy. When a multitude of college football players walked out on the diving board and did a triple-somersault into the packed portal you thought you’d seen it all. You were wrong. We were wrong.
Welcome to Transfer Portal 2022, which opened for brisk business on Monday. Talk about a crowded house. By noon Monday there were nearly 700 players in the portal. By Monday night, there were over 1,000, a vast majority of whom had declared themselves free agents via the use of fancy graphic designs on social media.
Instant mobility wasn’t limited to just players. Oh, no. Monday morning opened with the jaw-dropping news that Louisville coach Scott Satterfield was now the new head coach at Cincinnati. Louisville fans began writing thank-you notes to the UC administration. Cincinnati fans began scratching their heads.
