Sports Buzz Episode 22 | NCAA Transfer Portal and NIL Panel

This special episode of The Sports Buzz (Episode 22) features an in-depth discussion on the evolving and often harsh realities of college recruiting in 2026. Host Dave Caldwell is joined by a panel of veteran collegiate coaches—Kelvin Starr (The Master’s University), Ted Iacenda (College of the Canyons), and Howard Fisher (College of the Canyons)—to demystify the "wild west" of the NCAA transfer portal and the multi-billion dollar impact of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). The conversation provides a necessary reality check for high school athletes and their parents, offering expert advice on navigating "college free agency" while prioritizing long-term development and finding the right fit for the student-athlete's future.
