How does portal work?

[Jssanto]

Do schools have a player only web site where they list needs?
Do the school’s coaches decide what positions they need, then decide what players fit those positions, then reach out to those players?
Can a player reach out to a school? Maybe say your OL was weak or graduating and I play OL?
Are there specific dates where you are allowed to contact players? Those dates should be beatable by just having a middle man, likely an attorney or an alum. The coaches that cheated with money pre NIL will likely cheat with timing now.
