Returning Points


Recommended Posts

With the new season around the corner, and transfer activity done (?), I thought I would take a look at returning team points. To make the graphics more legible I only include teams with double digit returning points.

  • Let's start with the obvious. PSU returns the most points.

Now let's look at some details.

  • There were 1,437.5 points scored by 62 teams at last year's tournament. Of those 1,066.5 return (74.2%).

  • So, at 77% returning (133 of 172.5), PSU is pretty much on average.

But where are those points coming from?

  • Some are returning to the same team and some are transferring. Below is the breakdown.

Splashing cash gets results (or at least returning points).

  • Iowa led all teams in total points acquired through the transfer portal. And good for them. I say pay the men.
  • Oklahoma State is the other obvious big player in the transfer/NIL world. Given how close to the season their coaching change occurred, they may have been crunched for time. I would not be surprised to see them lead this rank next year.

  • But still has work to do in % of returning points purchased. SDSU was the clear beneficiary of Iowa's largesse (all 1.5 points of it).
