Yes, thanks for clarifying, that is what I meant finish the semester.

Athletic scholarships are on annual basis, not guaranteed for 4 years. If a player goes through the transfer portal, they intend to leave the school. Most of the time, the school will not take them back. But there are always exceptions to the rule if a school takes player back but it's rare. Problem is most everything, including NILs, are null and void once a player enters the portal. ** Edited by carhokies at 4/11/2026, 7:20:23 PM

40%-50% don't find a new program offering an athletic scholarship.

Actually this is not true…

HtownHokie • 04/11/26 09:18 PM ET

Teenagers aren't always the best at analyzing upside vs. downside**

I expect that many lower-tier portal players are pushed out.
nvpbrown • 04/11/26 10:50 PM ET
Correct
Cam_HokieMom • 04/11/26 06:47 PM ET
Their old team doesn’t have to (and most of the time doesn’t) take them
