College Football

I ran into a term seemingly out of place while reading a college football story. Can someone explain the " transfer portal " ?

It's essentially the college sports equivalent of pro sports free agency. Any college athlete at an NCAA institution can put his/her name into the transfer portal and, in effect, open his/recruiting by any other school. That athlete can then transfer to any school without eligibility restrictions or interference from their school as long as academic and other transfer requirements are met.

So it's not " Let's bring Jimmy Brown back from the 1950's " to play on our college team ?
