Semesters are going to be ending soon. How soon do these athletes in the portal have to make a decision until they won't be able to transfer to another school anymore?

Here’s a little fyi for you gopher: We believe that Baylor is in a unique position to support our students, including those who identify as LGBTQ, because of our Christian mission and the significant campus-wide resources available. Baylor’s status as a Christian research university values the scholarly investigation of Scripture. Consequently, we are committed to the open study of Scripture and discussion of multiple perspectives, both inside and outside the classroom. Regardless of one’s viewpoint on human sexuality, Baylor supports the dignity and worth of every person and seeks to create a campus climate where each person is treated with love and respect within our caring community, as outlined in our mission statement.” Does sound like you know If there is ever additional, significant realignment of the P5 conferences, I hope Baylor is left on the outside of the new P structure. They can be Baptist-BYU. Wouldn't be a problem, after all they'd still be a "destination for elite athletes". |

Two years? What kind of a poppycock metric is that? Gonna need more than 2 years to define the strength of a program. Baylor has had a couple of good seasons and some recent recruiting success but the notion that they are a premier volleyball program at this point is laughable. Stanford, Nebraska, even Texas... those are premier programs. Long Beach State is not ahead of Florida but at least that program has won a National Title. Heck they've won a bunch of them.     Baylor has clearly established itself as a destination for elite athletes. (Sorry @gophers4life) National Title- Men's Basketball, National Title- Women's Basketball, Conference Title- Volleyball. One of those pictures isn't like the other two. Not sure why you thought those pictures would make a good argument. Texas is a destination for elite athletes. They are a premier volleyball program now but that wasn't always the case. It takes success over more than two years to be considered a premier program. Baylor Volleyball still hasn't won anything. |

Once you're in the portal, it doesn't really matter. Somebody could wait to join the new team mid-way through preseason theoretically. |

There are some people who think it is significant that a program was successful in the past. You are mistaken if you think that matters much to recruits. They care about what the next 4 years (or 1 year in Skinner's case) will be like for them. And yeah, it depends on how exclusive you want the 'premier' list to be. I think Nebraska, Texas, Stanford are by themselves right now. But Baylor is a school that can legitimately recruit athletes by selling their goals of winning a national championship. That list of programs is pretty small. |

What makes you think Penn State is currently a better program than Baylor? Getting Pritchard and Rollins.. Add Skinner to the mix.. LOL and this is somehow significantly better than Yossi Pressley (2019 National Player of the Year, 2020 1st team) Lauren Harrison (honorable mention all American)? Lets not act like Penn State has been better than Baylor the last two years. |

True, but two years is a pretty small window to determine better overall program. There's no doubt Baylor has upped it's game, but better program than PSU?

Would y’all say the same thing about Kansas pre 2018 when they made a final four and won the Big 12? Let’s calm down. Baylor made the sweet 16 this year.

That list of programs is pretty small. It’s not about being successful in the past. It’s about a consistent level of success. Any program can sell goals of winning a National Championship but few can deliver on it. Baylor hasn’t done anything yet. |

Penn State isn’t on your list of premier programs ? I think they are currently below those three. |
