Why is it important to look at net rating gain? Not every team adds as much as it subtracts in the portal, so the math rarely matches in the ledgers. So, in an effort to simplify the problem and better evaluate teams as we enter the summer, we took the average rating of the players leaving each program — ratings via the 247Sports transfer rankings team — and compared it to the average rating of the players entering the program. We then distill that number to reach a net gain or net loss. 

After doing deep-dives on each conference earlier this week, here’s a more overarching look at how each Power Four team did in the transfer portal’s 2024 cycle. We have sorted each table by the team’s net rating gain, but there’s plenty of other information to glean, too.
