EDIT: Now includes back to 1999.
That thread by @Travis Galey on the transfer portal QB thing got me going down a Texas specific rabbit hole. Some of what is below I had forgotten about, but in total, WOW, the below is UGLY. This whole QB transfer thing has been going on for a long time. I went all the way back to 2006 which is as far back as I could see team recaps. @Ketchum may be able to go back further.
