Interesting information about the transfer portal

Did that 41% just decide to not play anymore? Confused how they also didn't eventually end up enrolling at another school

I’d imagine those percentages of guys who end up without a school are much lower at an SEC program than somewhere like a Sun Belt school

I feel like there is so much context that is being left out here.

Show breakdown in Division I sports rather than all of the NCAA footprint. That's where the biggest impact is.

If you look at all levels, you're inevitably getting kids included in these statistics that never found a landing spot and their current school did not want them back. IE, kids that just aren't good enough. You're also including sports that aren't major revenue generators or obscure sports that are specific to various regions of the country (lacrosse, hockey, field hockey, etc.).

All of those things muddy the water of the true problem with the transfer portal and where it has a significant impact on players' and Universities' cash flow. Football.

No one cares about the transfer portal data from gymnastics or swimming because they don't generate revenue. Show us the data from Division I football and I bet it paints a much darker picture of the portal.

More like someone decided for them they won’t play anymore. These dudes are finding out the hard way they aren’t quite as good as they thought they were.

I’ve heard from a high school coach that the portal plus the Covid year is reducing the number of guys out of high school who are getting scholarships.

Is this true??
