As for the rate of transfers... school at Tech is hard! CPJ makes sure that the men are students before they are athletes, and even though we like to believe that every recruit will be able to handle the difficulty of both the school and the football program, it just isn't "do-able" for all recruited athletes. It is sometimes just too much for some guys in the classroom/expectations off, that it only makes sense to find a different program that is a better "fit."
This does not apply to all cases, however it is important to recognize that as the difficulty of Tech increases (to make produce more desirable graduates for the workplace) and as practices increase in difficulty, the amount of transfers per/year is going to increase also.
TECH IS HARD. Our athletes are really smart and remarkable men. There is a reason why most of the REGULAR N.A.R.P. say they "got out" instead of "graduated."
