Almost all football players had multiple teams more or less begging for them to sign, with all sorts of ego boosting stuff like jerseys printed up with their names on it, created video clips of them scoring winning TD's for that team, etc.
So when it doesn't work out for them, they revert back to their HS recruiting phase for the amount of attention and interest they think they will bring. But there aren't' as many transfer spots as incoming freshmen spots, the player is going to have less time at that school to train up, and frankly, if you haven't been able to cut the mustard at your current school, another one is thinking what's wrong with this guy?
So unless you're a star and the portal is a free agency for your last year or so, it's a much harder sell to find another spot.
And yeah, if I was coach once you announce your portal-age, I'd be done with you, to the point of baring you from the team area and having you packed up from the dorm if possible.
