Many fans have wrung their hands at the idea of the transfer portal. It’s understandably uncomfortable. Their favorite program could lose their favorite player seemingly at the drop of a hat. It has become harder to grow attached to individual players, knowing loyalty is fleeting.
For BYU fans, they will be even more guarded since the abrupt departure of receiver Kody Epps.
However, despite all of that, the transfer portal has yielded overall positive results for BYU. They have come out on the positive side more than some other Power 5 programs (yes, BYU is now a Power 5 program).
