Earlier today, Eron Hodges Tweeted something out that really caught my eye.

Talent To Add Immediate Value#FreeGame— Eron Hodges (@EronHodges) December 28, 2020The last time I saw, there were over 800 athletes in the Transfer Portal.
Not only is that number alarming, more than half on a normal year do not find a home after leaving their previous school - if this holds constant, that means there will be 400 players out of a chance to obtain a degree for leaving their school.
