Examining the Big Ten with the transfer portal window now closed

The transfer portal has completely changed the landscape of college football. Players can change teams in search of new opportunities unencumbered by yellow tape like never before. No team is immune — not even the Michigan Wolverines — to the effects and with the second window of entry now closed, it’s time to look at where the Big Ten stands.

Several new coaches have their hands full with roster turnover, but none more so Ryan Walters at Purdue with 11 departures, and Matt Rhule at Nebraska with 13. These are still rookie numbers compared to Coach Prime at Colorado, who has seen north of 40 players enter the portal since April 15.
