Not only that.....a guy can leave a place where he's had a scholarship....enter the portal....not be picked up by anyone....and now he's even out a free education. 

And 99.9% of them need that education because a pro career is rare and short.

So I'm curious about the transfer portal process (I guess I haven't paid that much attention)

 

Once you enter the portal, is it you're jumping all in, no net? So you have to be pretty confident you are going to better your situation (program wise, NIL $$ wise, etc) Is there no safety net there? Assuming the team you are leaving would prefer you didn't leave?

 

Could Buggs have said "man coach, I messed up, can I please come back?"

It is very common for players that enter the portal, to return to their old teams.

Obviously, the coach has to want them back and be willing to set a precedent that will allow players to return.  I would expect a lot of programs are not willing to do that.  

However, in reality the better the player is; the more likely he/she will be welcomed back.

Well guys, I tried to get us another home game with a D-I opponent. Doesn't appear it's gonna work.

Guess he doesn’t want to find out what he’s missing out on

It shows that the Portal is not always to a better destination.
