There are 18 current players in that conference who previously played on another SEC team, three times the number of Big Ten players who have moved within the conference. The Big 12 is the only conference not to have former players from all four other major conferences; it has no Big Ten transfers. The Pac-12, meanwhile, has more internal transfers (10) than external ones (nine) from Power 5 conferences. There are plenty of teams, even some D-I teams, that don’t have a transfer player on their rosters. Setting aside the Ivy League universities, which don’t permit graduate students to play and have more restrictive transfer policies, the D-I teams with no transfers on their rosters this season include UConn and Stanford. Even Navy has one, Lizzie Holder, who previously played at Colorado, and whose Buffs bio includes this skill: “Can drive a manual transmission”. Alas, while Holder is listed on the Navy roster, that talent no longer appears.[/I] [/QUOTE]
