For those keeping score at home...

911 FBS scholorship athletes entered the portal since 8/1

32 withdrew

243 went to new schools

636 are still in the portal!

To me that reads that 636 entered with a 4 year scholarship and rolled the dice and come out with nothing. I am sure their schools were glad to get the scholarship back. These kids need to determine if the reason they are not getting playing time is that they just are not that good. If that is the case, they had best take advantage of that scholly and get the best education they can.

Keep in mind a ton of those will enroll at new schools at the start of the new semester. Plenty of time for those 636 to decide. 
 

Also, one other very important note. A ton of those guys were told transfer because their scholarships wouldn’t be renewed at their school. They do not sign 4 year scholarships. They sign 1 year scholarships that the coaches can take away at the end of the year if wanted. I highly expect guys at Texas like Woodard, Caldwell, Ghirmai, etc. would have stayed but Sark told them “thanks but no thanks. Good luck at your next school.”

When a school like Texas St. does that to a kid, they most likely have to go to FCS to find a home. It isn’t fair to say 636 kids made a bad choice when probably half of them were told to leave with no choice made.

I always knew scholarships were on an annual renewing basis, but rarely (in the past) heard of one not being renewed.  Is this practice increasing with the advent of the portal?

There is more in the portal than there is scollarships. asome will have to go small school to find a home are maybe not find a place.

 
I find it hard to believe that 3/4 of all who entered the portal were told their schollys would be removed so they had best move along. Saban only coaches one school after all......
