Expansion Big 12 Football's Transfer Portal DISASTER: Utah, TCU, Colorado Lose Key Players for NIL

Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

The Big 12 conference, like other conferences, may face challenges related to the transfer portal due to a variety of factors:

Conference Realignment Uncertainty: The Big 12 has experienced significant instability and uncertainty in recent years due to conference realignment. Schools leaving the conference or potential changes in membership can create uncertainty for players, potentially leading to increased transfers as athletes seek more stable situations.

Recruitment Challenges: Big 12 schools may face challenges in recruiting and retaining top talent compared to schools in more prominent conferences like the SEC or Big Ten. This could lead to players transferring out of Big 12 programs in search of opportunities at schools with greater visibility and resources.

Media Exposure: Media exposure and visibility can play a significant role in recruiting and player retention. Big 12 schools may have less exposure compared to schools in larger conferences, which could impact their ability to attract and retain top talent.

Coaching Changes: Coaching changes within Big 12 programs can also contribute to transfers. When a new coach is hired, they may bring in their own recruits or implement a different playing style, which may not align with the preferences or abilities of current players, leading them to seek opportunities elsewhere.

NCAA Rules: NCAA rules regarding transfer eligibility and waivers can also impact the transfer landscape. Players may be granted immediate eligibility to play at their new schools under certain circumstances, while others may have to sit out a year due to transfer rules.

Overall, while the Big 12 may face some disadvantages in the transfer portal compared to other conferences, schools within the conference still have the opportunity to recruit and retain talented players. Adapting to the evolving landscape of college athletics and addressing these challenges will be important for Big 12 programs to remain competitive in the future.
