NCAA Transfer Portal 2025-26

Any news about Ondine?

It is much harder for overseas student athletes to transfer, because the study visa is attached to the school. But it’s not impossible- Lucy Stanhope transferred.

I wonder for Ondine, if being able to fly home easily/more affordably is a priority too

Courtney Blackson from Boise State is taking a 5th year and in the portal.
She's a strong vaulter and bars worker coming back from retirement much like Helen Hu.

I was so excited for her to go to Cal. So disappointed for her now everyone seems to be leaving. The east coast would certainly be easier to travel.

east coast is only easier if there’s a direct flight. If there isn’t, then it’s overall longer than SF to London direct

I hadn't thought of that.

Plenty of east coast universities with direct flights to london, Florida, Georgia, Auburn for example

They don’t really, you have to get to the nearest major city first.

You can get to Hartsfield Airport from Auburn or Georgia in about 1:30-45. Florida to Orlando International is about 1:30-45 drive. I wouldnt consider those excessively challenging. Especially when you consider bay area traffic, you still are looking at least 45 minutes travel to SFO. But thats just me.

 

[RedBirdie]

Europeans would consider having to drive 90+ minutes just to access the airport an unreasonably long time!

Berkley to SFO can at least be done on public transit.

I thought all Europeans loved seeing our big beautiful country . Im not European, although I have been to Europe, so who knows?

Yeah, no British person is considering that easy or convenient.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I barely find that easy or convenient. I pay more for a flight to fly out of Dulles that's 15 minutes away from my house vs. BWI.
