you'd have to apply for a waiver from the NCAA or SEC I believe to allow a student athlete to enroll. I've only seen them ever give waivers where players needed to move closer to family for health reasons or were transferring down football divisions. Maybe there's an exception to that rule somewhere but it's unlikely they'd let 10-15 kids leave and use the rule just because. NCAA is slow on everything...To both your points, yes the portal opens. The issue is not that the portal is open, it's that the kids who transfer out can't enroll until Fall at their new schools like those that transfer after the Spring portal it's the same rules that would apply here.The move by Michigan and Harbaugh is VERY smart, it's a loophole, but it's smart. How best to keep the roster intact when a coach leaves? Draw it along until the roster isn't able to enroll until fall, thus buying yourself more time to convince the kids to stay.
