[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New athletic transfer portal rules have made it look easier. Many transfers are athletes transferring to play from another school.  My kid had 4 transfers onto their Ivy last year. [/quote]

That would for sure color the numbers at Vanderbilt, Duke, Stanford, Northwestern, USC, and Notre Dame. The transfer portal is a real thing for the schools that are trying to compete - unlike a Brown or Columbia or Yale. Don't take the transfer numbers seriously at these schools. It's going to be 2 percent at T20 schools all around for the non D1 athletes. [/quote]

Yale has a QB transfer from Wisconsin. Kids move down for playing time as well as moving up to bigger programs  [/quote]

And Vanderbilt imported their QB from New Mexico. With absolutely outstanding results.

The academically strong D1 sport schools have a different reality these days when it comes to transfers.[b] You can't compare SEC Vanderbilt or ACC Duke or independent Notre Dame with Columbia or Yale or Williams or the other schools that aren't competitive. So the transfer numbers can be misleading. No top athlete is transferring to Wesleyan or whatever.  [/b] [/quote]

Williams and Wesleyan are D3, so you're right about them. Top athletes are transferring into ivies, not the very tippy top but good athletes. Kids at power programs realize they just aren't big10 material or they see the difference between themselves and NFL bound teammates and they transfer somewhere they can play and where their degree will hold more value [/quote]
