right. The portal is in its essence a tool that can track and aid movement. The rest really has to do with the free year(largely virus driven) and immediate eligibility(possibly ongoing). It is cliche but, it is what it is and fans, players, coaches, admins, etc. will all be challenged to adjust to the changing landscape. It is mentioned below that 1,000 are currently in the portal. Using a round number of 350 for D-1 programs the 1000 represents about 57% of available D-1 starting spots and about 21% of all roster spots. Those numbers only go up if you include entering freshman from high school. Those in business will appreciate trying to manage an enterprise with greater than 20% turnover and players considering a transfer would do well to consider what those percentages MIGHT imply about their prospects to better their current situation.
