[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 861710, member: 2580"] I think comparing transfers for regular students to those of scholarship athletes is a false equivalence. As far as I’m aware, there’s been nothing preventing football players from transferring to another school to go study. “But they’ll have to sit out a year!” Well pardon my lack of empathy as someone whose family paid for my education out of pocket (and I was one of the really lucky ones. A pretty good chunk of college students today have to rack up a lot of loan debt just to pay tuition to get this education) that I don’t feel bad that someone got a full ride to a good college and got to transfer somewhere else and have a full ride at that second college, but they don’t get to play in games for a year while their education is being fully funded. Regular students absolutely face “punishment” for transferring schools. They may lose scholarships if the new school doesn’t uphold or award them the same or equivalent scholarships they had at their old school. Sometimes credits don’t transfer, and students lose hard-earned progress they had made toward their degrees. [/QUOTE]
