The NCAA transfer portal allows players to enter their name for any reason they want. Before the portal, which was encated in 2018, it was much more difficult for players to change schools. After going 12-16-6 in 2023-24, the Northern Michigan University Wildcats mens' team is facing what can only be described as a mass exodus.
In total, 13 players have made themselves available to other schools, leaving just nine players left from the 2023-24 team.
Unfortunately for NMU, their NMU Men's Basketball team was also hit hard by the transfer portal, something the university really needs to look into quickly to see just what's going on.
While the NCAA is currently enjoying the interest in the league's Frozen Four tournament to determine the best college team in the US, disturbing details recently emerged in the tragic passing of two former NCAA players. Sidney Capolino (23) and Meghan Moore (25), both alumni of New England College's NCAA Division III hockey team.
