It may hurt some of the more established teams.(It could also help them too because if I was a transfer, I would want to go to a great team!)

There has to be something when you are recruiting a player that says they may transfer. Or there could be some thing like loyalty in broken bat, it gets lower when a player doesn’t get playing time or something and the lower it gets the higher risk of transfer. Would transferring be random or would you have to kind of recruit the players in the portal?

And that includes word from the admin as well as several previous threads started by therelabeef. http://onlinecollegebasketball.org/index.php?searchFor=transfer&goButton=Search&type=forum&content=search_results Updated Monday, December 11 2023 @ 9:26:38 am PST

Would hurt established teams and would be a "gift" to struggling programs and new users 2.) This ones just me, but I think it would take a lot of work to implement such a big factor into the game. 3.) How would it even work?? 4.) Waste of recruiting points you previously spent.
