I just read a story about how a bunch of players with no eligibility have entered the portal because of a looming ruling that may or may not give all players an extra year. Entering the portal gives them flexibility to find a new team on the off chance that they can play again. So they aren’t applying for a waiver, they’re just waiting to see if the rules change. Garcia seems to be in this group.If Dawson Garcia is granted a waiver, while Brooks is not, the rules are whack. Played more games, got a free Covid season. I undestand there's the "season ending" injury thing. But it's whack, rules are whack.
Anyway, like 150 players joined the portal yesterday, probably around same amount today.
