I googled an found an article posted on ncaa website from 12/6/18, which reads that in 2017-18, 689 men’s D1 players transferred. There will probably be lots more transfers announced in the near future. Seems like for some of these kids, if they’re faced with a little bit of adversity & don’t get 30 minutes per game, the 1st thing they look to do is fold up their tent and transfer.

Mat, I’m not sure what the link is between guys transferring & the commissioner not having us a TV 📺 deal.

TUTigers 119 Report post Posted March 28, 2019 CAA used to be a legit mid-major 10-15 yrs ago. Sad that is no longer the case. The transfer problem seems to be an issue on a national scale and even has crept into high school. Football players in public high schools across the state and transferring constantly to get more exposure or play for a better team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TuTigers2012 1,061 Report post Posted March 28, 2019 Let me preface this by saying, "I know there are a certain few here who will vehemently disagree with me no matter what." With that said, sure the lack of TV deal has something to do with it, as does coaches leaving (WM/Elon). The CAA not winning anything in half a decade certainly hurts, as does a lot of the soft scheduling by the bottom institutions of the league (Towson included). But the grad transfer rule is absolutely killing mid and low majors. When it first started, it helped lower level programs as we go the scraps of Power 5 players, who were fringe players there. Once those schools looked at the good talent at the smaller schools, it was over. Mid/low majors have become farm systems for the Power 5 programs. With all of the transfers leaving along with graduation, there is ZERO excuse to not be a Top 2-3 team. (part of that was sarcasm, but some on here used that as an excuse last year, lets see how the other teams respond) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
