I never realized it could be that many, they didn’t clarify when the final total might be made, guessing spring.

Like I posted, ESPN didn’t clarify when, maybe the early ones are expected to total 1,000

1,300 in 2022. Probably a little less in 2023.

How many will be flipping burgers instead of the security of a college education?

Eventually, there will be an equilibrium.

There are only so many spots and so many "takes" a school can execute. This is still the after effects of COVID.

That's why I call it the portal potty. Not much to see there except for the top 50 or so guys...

Per tAthletic, on Monday the numbers were
532 FBS scholarship players
100 walk-ons
421 players from FCS schools
total of 1,127

represents a 44 percent increase from the previous record-setting day of 780 last year

With more expected

My first reaction is that it's really unfortunate that so many are willing to risk their opportunity for a free education. Thinking further, I wonder how many of these kids were at risk of not having their scholarship renewed or what general percentage are asked to look elsewhere if things aren't progressing as planned.
