How The Current Rate Of Big Ten Players Entering The Transfer Portal Will Affect The 2021-22 Season

The transfer portal continues to fill up at an unprecedented rate.

Dozens of players have decided to put their names into the mix, and the list of players seeking new destinations only continues to grow. More than 1,200 college basketball players are either currently in the portal or have already transferred this cycle, and the number grows larger by the day.

Some of the transfers stem from the NCAA extending a blanket waiver to give all players an additional year of eligibility. Some of them are due to coaching changes. Some happen because of an increasingly widespread belief that they’ll be able to get waivers to be immediately eligible.
