Meaning 46% of players ended up at an FCS school or completely out of football. YIKES.
As of this morning, there were 1,100+ FBS players in the portal from 131 schools. Meaning about 9% of total scholarship players (85 per team).
Add walk-ons and FCS players to the equation, and there were over 3,000 players looking for new schools this morning.
Conclusion: As crazy as things are this year, players will eventually realize the transfer portal could leave them completely devoid of a situation and things will simmer down in coming years. For every Charlie Jones, there are 99 dudes who would've been better off staying at Iowa.
