The transfer portal has become one of the hot topics across the college football landscape.

A database built primarily to help streamline the traditional transfer process, college athletes provide their intent to leave their respective schools to the compliance office who then enters their name into the portal.

Now, just because a player enters into the portal does not mean they have to leave or even if there will be another school waiting for them on the other side.
