Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 2776649, member: 5823"] One reason you have not touched on is the age of the students when these decisions are being made. Most enter college as teenagers and the first college decision typically has plenty of input from mom and dad. For many the decision to transfer is the first "adult" semi-solo decision & typically made after being away from mom and dad for the first time. I'm too lazy to do the research but I would bet it is similar to seeing higher divorce rates among couples that were married at a young age. I generally disagree that these decisions are about playing time, basketball, or even athletics. These are some very formative years where college students are looking for someone they can relate to, something they are good at, and someone to inspire them. For the most part WCBB players readily have all three & that is the reason they transfer at a lesser rate than non-athletes. [/QUOTE]
