Marshall Opts Out of Independence Bowl After Losing 29 Players to CFB Transfer Portal

Marshall's 2024 football season has reportedly come to an unceremonious end.

Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reported that the school notified officials of its decision to opt out of the Independence Bowl. The Thundering Herd were set to play Army in that game on Dec. 28.

The decision was made due to the program having lost 29 players to the transfer portal thus far. The officials will now look to add a new participant based on the NCAA APR scores of programs that went 5-7.

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
