Where would Indiana athletics be without the unloved transfer portal? Many fans may not like it, but it’s had a transformative effect on the Hoosiers.
The Hoosiers are 10-0 for the first time ever. Indiana is the talk of the college football world. Indiana will play its biggest game of the season, and possibly ever, when the fifth-ranked Hoosiers head to Ohio Stadium on Nov. 23 to take on No. 2 Ohio State.
How important has it been for Indiana football? A quick check of the stats is all you need to know to understand how impactful the portal has been.Leading rusher? Justice Ellison. Portal addition from Wake Forest. Second and third-leading rushers? Ty Son Lawton and Kaelon Black, both portal additions from James Madison.
It isn’t just football. The three primary revenue sports at Indiana – football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball – are all influenced by the portal in a considerable way. Indiana’s basketball dependence on the portal irritates some fans who prefer to build via freshman additions, but no one objects when Indiana dips into its war chest to apply the other seismic change that’s come to college athletics – name, image and likeness – to get these portal additions through the door.
The dizzying portal season – where the total players who express their desire to move on reaches four-figure size in basketball – is a buzz kill for many. Where’s the loyalty? Where is the commitment? Where is the gumption to wait your turn to play?
