Actually, I will believe it when I see it on everyone returning to Boca.
BTW, May quoted in a The Athletic piece from last week:

Wow!
Just sucks - as a mid major it is going to be so hard to go on the run we had back in 90s early 00s.

Extra Covid eligibility hid the damage that the portal is going to do to mid majors. We temporarily had an over supply of players. That is going away and when it does, we will all officially be farm teams for the blue bloods.
Just another way the sport is dying.

Yup seems pretty clear to me. The only thing the lower levels had on the power leagues was under rated kids buying in and using continuity and experience as the equalizer. Thatās gone now.
I would say that if you like parity, I hope you enjoyed this yearās NCAA tournament. Because it isnāt happening again. Not like this. Between the stinker of a championship game and the trailing off of Covid extra eligibility we are going to be right back to Blueblood status quo very soon. 2-3 years tops. I suspect next yearās tournament will already be very different.
Kudos to programs like FAU who exploited the window and maximized their programs from it. Window is closing now.
