LEXINGTON, Ky. — First of all, we're happy for Dick Vitale. ESPN's loud and proud college basketball analyst had a tough winter. He battled cancer and underwent vocal cord surgery. Thankfully, one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet is now cancer-free. He should be back talking soon.
In the meantime, Dickie V is having a fit. The culprit: the transfer portal. The outlet: social media, where Vitale has been incessantly tweeting that the plethora of players bouncing from school to school is harming hoops.
A Vitale tweet late Monday: "PATHETIC what the TRANSFER PORTAL is doing to college sports. How is this CHAOS & CHEATING going on gr8 lessons for young ppl to DEVELOP values needed for the Game of Life. Quitting / lack of loyalty is what is happening traits that destroy ppl as they face the REAL WORLD."
