Skull Session: Most transfer players go to lesser programs, joint practices could be coming to college football, Buckeye basketball is good at the race to 69 points, and more.
When the one-time transfer exception was first discussed, I remember folks being extremely concerned that it would result in the elite programs simply taking all the good players from lesser programs.
These results come from an extremely thorough deep dive of the transfer portal data over the past five years. There were a bunch of other fun transfer portal findings in the data, too. Here are some of the highlights:Higher-rated recruiting classes have higher transfer rates.Players who go to school beyond 300 miles from their hometown appear to transfer at a much higher rate than their close-to-home peers.
The MAC will ask the NCAA to consider a proposal that would allow FBS teams to hold NFL-style joint practices, beginning with the 2022 season. The practice would occur within the existing training camp schedule, established last year: i.e., one of the 18 allowable practices, and no more than 75 minutes of full contact.
This makes all the sense in the world, but part of me just doesn't believe this is going to catch on at the Power Five level, especially among the elite teams.
