Does the NCAA take any actions against people who leak athletes who have entered the transfer portal? There are social media accounts for football and basketball that just tweet out every name that enters.
I assume that having access to the portal is supposed to be confidential. If a kid enters the portal, they probably talked it over with the coach, but might not have mentioned it to others. An athlete might have intentionally not told people like parents, teammates, etc. to avoid some sort of fallout.
If I were a kid entering the portal, I would be very frustrated to have people leak that information to the public.
