[QUOTE="GaTech4ever, post: 1008231, member: 660"] I just don’t understand why some of us are jumping so quickly to academics being a reason why a transfer would transfer again. Those kids are so far along in their college careers that they know how to stay eligible and live as a student-athlete. They’re also in their elective classes and are set up for success - especially as transfers. Literally everything about this landscape is showing us that kids are leaving for better football opportunities. Stop assuming a kid who’s been in college as a student-athlete for years already can’t do the school part. Very few scholarship P5 college football players are making decisions off of school anymore. When was the last time we had a player flunk out? And/or transfer out because of the school workload? How many since CPJ retired 5 years ago? It’s just a dated argument in 2024. I’d be pissed if I was a college football player who had worked his *** off to get a full ride at a big time program and there’s people online assuming he doesn’t want to show up to class and contribute in group projects (which is all it takes). Nothing about this landscape has shown that kids are transferring because of schoolwork. That’s so far down the list in this era. I do wonder if the same people will question whether the Furman kid wanted to do the school part. Since he made the same decision as the FSU kid. Haven’t seen that though. [/QUOTE]
