Bad for the game overall
Maybe. The low-majors are getting robbed of their talent, but I doubt that's what you meant.
It seems to have given the non-traditional powers at the P5 level a different avenue to building a strong program. And it appears to be a healthy, efficient way to shape up a roster that otherwise might have no open spots. Everyone seems to be ok with guys that aren't contributing leaving, but now it's bad for the sport if it's happening everywhere simultaneously?
And even if you disagree with all of that, I don't know if you could argue the game was in better shape 5-10 years ago. I'm not sure if the NCAA even knows what it wants to be or is supposed to be in the 21st century, but it wasn't clear that the sport was in great shape prior to the transfer portal phenomena.
