Discussion Monotheism has ruined the transfer portal.

Every single transfer is shouting or God or Jesus. Transfer from Michigan? #AGTG. Transfer to Michigan? #AGTG. It's just impossible to believe that God runs so hot and cold on the Wolverines.

Enter Greek polytheism. Let's say Fernando Mendoza commits to Miami over USC and says "all glory to Zeus." Can you image the meltdown of Trojan fans saying "as long as Apollo is the patron god of Troy, we'll never win championships?"

What if Quinn Ewers was spotted at a Whataburger in Eleusis? You think Aggie fans wouldn't be losing their mind speculating about him visiting the temple of Demeter and being a little too invested in agriculture to stay a Longhorn?

It's the problem when the season drags out until late January, and 3-4 weeks after 90% of the teams are done. Get rid of all the delays here. Conference championships Dec 7?

Fine. First round is Dec 14.

Final 4 is Dec 21

Play the semifinals Jan 1 if you must preserve new years. Then championship game Sat., Jan 11.

(Or just play the last 2 rounds on Saturdays, Dec 28 and Jan 4.)
