Staggering Number Of Players Have Entered Transfer Portal During NCAA Tournament

"It's not a loaded question, it's one I really have zero interest in answering, because I think it's ridiculous that the NCAA or any other entity put these two things together that people like you have to ask these questions. And I value that you have to ask them. And I do get upset when people are talking to our kids about them," Izzo said, via the Detroit Free Press.

"I saw what happened at one school. Teams get a chance to play in the Sweet 16, and people are entering the transfer portal. Kids gotta do what they got to do, and they're really not doing what they gotta do," the Spartans coach continued. "They're doing what their parents or their agents are telling them to do because they still gotta go to practice, go in the same locker room unless they leave the team. And I think that's insane. I think it's disgusting. But that's my own personal opinion."

Many have argued that the transfer portal shouldn't open until the season's conclusion — as it can be a bad look to see players bailing on their teams in the middle of March Madness.

Izzo is admittedly old school. But as of right now, these are the rules that college basketball abides by.
