What is the transfer portal difference?

Post by dallasdore »

While our basketball team has been decimated by the portal, our football team has lost the LEAST number of players to the portal in the conference. I'm not sure if anyone knows how we stack up in women's basketball, chime in if you know.

With this in mind, what are the possible explanations (aside from the obvious one) for this discrepency? Is there a difference in the two sports at VU that can explain it? It just seems weird that there is such a stark contrast.
