College football is going through a transition unlike any the sport has seen before.

From the allowance of name, image and likeness to the transfer portal, the sport has gone through seismic shifts the last several years. Those shifts continue with potential revenue sharing and roster limits, the latter of which will cause programs with rich walk-on traditions to remove dozens of roster spots.

"This year, we're probably gonna end up with between 30 and 50 guys in the portal with the roster and all the things that are gonna have to happen," Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule said at the beginning of Iowa game week. "But I don't really want any of them to go in the portal. I want them all to stay here and develop. Its just the new world we're in."

Nebraska is one of those programs that have long held a place for walk-ons. That will change. Rhule noted earlier in November that there have been fewer preferred walk-on offers this cycle.

"For me, as a former walk-on, my strength coach was a former walk-on, Satt (Marcus Satterfield) was a former walk-on — I can’t imagine my life if I hadn’t been able to walk on at Penn State University. I can’t imagine my life if I hadn’t played for Joe Paterno and gotten my butt kicked by those guys every day," Rhule said.

"Hopefully, everyone really embraces this moment, because it’s kind of the end of an era. If you really think about it, we’ve out-legislated true walk-on programs in college football. "

The current portal window runs from Dec. 9 to Dec. 28.
