Message: [QUOTE="militarydog, post: 3313874, member: 9841"] I’m not sure of the numbers. However realistically I agree most (if not all the high profile ones) are likely using it as a way to attend a new school. Regardless of whether they finish the graduate degree or not I’m in favor of it incentivizing a player to complete their undergraduate degree. I had a friend whose son was a decent recruit that attended a power 5 program. He had a decent career but it was obvious he had peaked early and not developed into a major contributor. He talked to the coaches and redshirted his junior year to preserve a year of eligibility. He graduated and had two years to play. He transferred to a lower level school and was a key player while finishing an MBA. In contrast I was very happy for the player that graduated from Murray State then grad transferred to UConn. She developed into a very good player in college and now gets a chance to play for a national championship. [/QUOTE]
