    Love it. I’m not familiar with any of these teams though, what sports are they supposed to play?

      1. NFL Football free agency (free transfer)
      2. Same
      3. American college sports, which is in a bit of an existential crisis because it started 130 years ago as roughly equivalent to Oxford and Cambridge doing rowing regattas, but football and basketball have been “wink and nod” U23 professional leagues for 80+ of them, and the legal underpinnings of its version of amateurism are being eroded in the courts. The “transfer portal” is meant to organize the chaos that comes when athletes request to continue their eligibility for an “athletic scholarship” at a new school.
      4. Same
      5. NBA basketball mandatory injury reporting.
