Overview
- Hurley, speaking Thursday on The Dan Patrick Show, called the current transfer system "terrible" and said tampering happens throughout the year.
- He argued programs should operate like NBA teams, with dedicated staff to run recruiting visits, manage agent talks, and build rosters after the season.
- The transfer window, moved to open right after the national title game, has already seen more than 1,800 players enter in its first days, according to Yahoo Sports.
- UConn began shifting to that model in May 2025 by making Tom Moore a full-time general manager focused on roster construction.
- Hurley warned of heavy turnover at UConn, estimating only four or five of 15 players may return next season, while saying NIL has benefited players without hurting their commitment.
