Barkley argued that when big-named schools with the most NIL money reel in the bulk of top prospects, parity In college sports will crumble.
"It's a travesty and a disgrace. I'm so mad now how we can mess up something that's so beautiful," Barkley said.
He added, "In the next three to five years, we're going to have 25 schools that's going to dominate the sports because they can afford players, and these schools who can't afford or won't pay players are going to be irrelevant."
LA JOLLA, Calif. – UC San Diego Director of Athletics Earl W. Edwards has named Clint Allard '08 the new head men's basketball coach of the Tritons. Allard becomes the 13th head coach in program history, and the second at the Division I level. Allard will report to Edwards in his new role.
"I have the distinct privilege to announce Clint Allard as our next head men's basketball coach," said UC San Diego Director of Athletics Earl W. Edwards. "As an alumnus of our program, he knows what it means to be a Triton. His successes as our associate head coach were put on full display as we transitioned to Division I, won the Big West regular season and tournament titles, and competed on the national stage. His ability to recruit elite scholar-athletes, his coaching acumen, and his vision for continued success in this competitive climate make him the ideal candidate to lead our program into the future. I'm excited for the Coach Allard era to begin!"

It is interesting that of the roughly 2,000 D1 players who entered the portal last season, about 200 of them (about 10%) never landed at another school (I'm guessing most probably never got an offer, or never got one from a school they preferred to attend or a team they wanted to play for). The consequence for declaring to enter the portal means you are at least temporarily relinquishing a scholarship at your former school. The school you transfer to does not need to guarantee you a scholarship, nor, if you wind up returning to the school you had intended to transfer from, that school does not have to reinstate your former scholarship, although they may do that....it is a risk for the player to enter the portal...maybe not for the best players, who will 'land on their feet,' but certainly for lesser players who might not get a better offer than they currently have at their present school.
