Here are some NCAA Transfer Portal statistics:

Only 30% of Division II student-athletes who enter the portal find a new program. Of that 30%, just 33% move up to the Division I level, while 60% remain in Division II. These figures apply to first-time transfers only.

Allowing unlimited transfers without restrictions hinders many student-athletes and makes timely graduation far more difficult.

The one-time transfer exception often referenced was once the standard rule, and it worked effectively.

Coaches at every level, particularly in certain sports, are already experiencing significant burnout due to annual roster turnover.

We must regain control of this issue and begin pushing back. While we have adapted - and will continue to adapt - to the "new normal," we risk losing sight of the true value of an education and a degree.

College is not a four-year decision - it is a forty-year decision.

The story of this tournament was the class our team showed through a difficult and unfair situation. Thankful for the outpouring of support from the other teams and fans. This was a special group that left a positive legacy.

[UVA Wise Athletics @UVAWiseCavs]

So proud of our Cavs. Season concludes, but the bar has been raised for UVA Wise Baseball. Their maturity and competitive spirit was on full display throughout the tournament!

[Erik Lemley @ELemley33]

There were over a thousand people in the building last night who know exactly what they saw and heard…Extremely proud of the restraint and class our players ultimately showed.

They deserved a better outcome.

Time to show them how resilient you are.

Jake Smith’s what would be game tying homerun off the scoreboard ends up being ruled an out at the plate after timely discussion.

.@UVAWiseBaseball starts off SAC play with a big road series win against a quality team to improve to 11-2.

Pitching was the name of the game to win the series, as the Cavaliers pitched the final 15 innings without giving up a run.

Houston Sarvis gave up 1 run in 4 innings in Game 2, Justin Snider threw 6 scoreless in Game 3. They're both 2-0 with a 1.98 and a 1.23 ERA, respectively.

Don't sleep on UVA Wise.
