Any situation where someone is praised for "doing something for the team

by playing some position ...sure...they are praised as being a team player but, in reality, those players want to play. It isn't pure selfish but these players want to be on the field. If they are in a program in which their role does not seem likely to change for several years barring injury, graduation, a teammate transferring out, it isn't about promoting or not promoting the concept of team. Softball is a sport in which good starts start most games and bench players rarely get on the field except for random pinchhitting, pinchrunning, sickness, injury, graduation. etc The vast majority of transfers are seeking opportunities to play, or play at a higher level

Actually, you could be talking two years ago with regards to Texas Tech. **

It’s interesting the lack of signings by those 8 schools
Hockeydad • 06/21/25 01:52 PM ET
I don’t have a frame of reference. Are transfers increasing? Is money
GBOHokie • 06/21/25 01:21 PM ET
The portal numbers are up from last year to this year
VTChip • 06/21/25 11:20 PM ET
Depending on the coach, softball is full of bottleneck situations

The grass is always greener on the other side, or is it? Many of these
PokieHokie • 06/22/25 09:14 AM ET
For MANY of them , I bet money is not the issue
VAHokie89 • 06/23/25 12:59 AM ET
Definitely doesn't help promote the concept of "TEAM". **

But, every successful team tells you that it's because they love each other
