Well more than half 55% did find a new home so overwhelming majority may be

a big strong. You have the following groups: 1) Players who enter portal to move up (example Justin Mutts) 2) Players who think they are better than they are and go in portal due to not getting PT they think they deserve subgroups: - move to lower level school competition and get PT (Example Bamisile) - problem children who can't find home coaches turned off and player ego won't accept drop to lesser program 3) Players who go into portal due to coaching change (often follow coach who recruited them 4) Players who are quote: "cut" told they are unlikely to get PT (if coach doesn't threaten scolly they really fall into #2) - one group moves to another school - one group can't find a home / of course hard to say how many of these are willing to go to any school that will give them a full ride at worst programs in D-I?, how many can't afford to go to D II where they may only get partial help to pay for school? So, how many chose not to continue because they cannot get any school to take them and give them a scholarship vs after being "cut" lose confidence desire to play, etc.? I am not sure what solution is perhaps their scholarship should be guaranteed, meaning school that signed them has to pay for their education up to value of their scholarship if they are not offered a scholarship to play elsewhere. So if they want to go to D-II or D-III or just another school they have $$$ to help get their education?

It sounds as though on net, inferior players are being run off. If so, why

The extra COVID year has affected supply and demand in the portal.

Overwhelming majority of players are in the portal because they were cut...

Lots to unpack there...

The NCAA made it legal to cut players within a certain period of time...

We hear a ton about coaches not liking the portal. I call hogwash and
IronBlood 08/17/23 04:11 PM ET
Taking advantage of it doesn't necessarily equate to liking it.
Pylons 08/18/23 02:38 PM ET
Pretty high percentage of players enter portal involuntarily because they

And fans never complain about those transfers**
vtbball80 08/22/23 12:08 PM ET
Exactly
Vippie1 08/17/23 04:32 PM ET
Were many able to stay where they were or were bridges burned?**
JRHokie73 08/17/23 02:50 PM ET
Most of them were cut...
GCHokie34 08/18/23 10:12 AM ET
In some cases, the coaches suggested the transfer portal.
HokieJack 08/17/23 03:14 PM ET
I don't think that's less painful.
Pylons 08/18/23 02:50 PM ET
A suggestion goes something like this. (Yes, it is painful)
HokieJack 08/18/23 03:11 PM ET
Well, that's pulling the scholarship, not really "suggesting the portal"
Pylons 08/18/23 03:25 PM ET
Of course, football and basketball are head count sports.
HokieJack 08/20/23 03:04 PM ET
I think it's pretty well established that players get cut.
Pylons 08/20/23 03:38 PM ET
I think we will see a drop when covid eligible players are gone. **
vthhhi 08/17/23 02:40 PM ET
I doubt it.
HokieJack 08/17/23 03:16 PM ET
there were a lot more kids with eligibility left than normal, more to push
Vienna_Hokie 08/17/23 08:45 PM ET
Some players want a lower conference in order to play more and have better
DGHOKIE 08/17/23 01:28 PM ET
Maybe there are some regulatory changes
soflahokie 08/17/23 01:16 PM ET
So where do they end up?JUCO?Div.2?Playing in some obscure overseas league?**
HokieBrazil 08/17/23 01:14 PM ET
Is there anybody out there educating the players about the risk
VT ChemE 1986 08/17/23 12:56 PM ET
The risk they are taking by being cut?**
GCHokie34 08/20/23 01:39 PM ET
in a lot of cases, I doubt it. Young people make dumb decisions. **
