Damn it, did you have to screw up a good narrative?
Proving once again it’s not the numbers that bother coaches. It’s the loss of control.

In 2018, the first year of the Transfer Portal and first year the NCAA didn't have a rule letting all schools block transfers, the % of FBS-to-FBS transfers (orange line here) didn't move. Again.

“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23
Aight?

I think some of what has stemmed the tide of transfers though (little t not T) is the fact that after the Fields-Martell fiasco, the NCAA has reversed course and become very reluctant to allow kids to play immediately. If you hadn’t had some very high profile smack downs of waiver request, Luke Ford and the Virginia Tech guy come to mind, the floodgates might be creaking. You kill one you scare a thousand as John Gotti said.
