Transfers / Credits

[neench]

When I was at Pitt they were tearing down Forbes field. I am still mad that I did not pick up a brick laying on the sidewalk on Oakland Avenue. Back then, if you transferred from a college to another college you should do it after your freshmen year and definitely not after your sophomore year. Colleges might accept all of your freshmen credits and most of your sophomore credits but nothing after the sophomore year. Usually there would be a course or two that they would not accept and you would have to make it up even for your freshmen or sophomore credits. Stanford would not accept any athletic transfers up until this year. They are now accepting transfers up to the sophomore year only but you have to qualify. Today I see football and basketball players transfer between as many as 2, 3, or 4 colleges. I am not talking about graduate transfers. But do any of these undergraduate transfers ever get a degree? The truth is it really doesn’t matter.

The value of a college education certainly seems to take a back seat in the world of NIL, the portal, and revenue sharing.

You could also go to college for a year for what a 3-credit course costs now. Many things are different.

You are assuming that these athletes care about getting their degree, when it reality, earning that degree is the furthest thing from their minds. To be quite honest, I seriously doubt that if any school, Pitt included, would turn away a 5 star football or basketball player because of their academic performance, that Pat Narduzz or Jeff Capel would like to bring into their programs.
