Jeez, keep being a stick in the mud. Have a sense of humor, lol I do have one when something is actually humorous. And quit pretending that it was a joke. i didn't say it was a joke (those are your words), I am stating you lack humor. that's pretty clear all sorts of things have humor associated with him, which doesn't mean they are necessarily a joke

Transferring every other semester would interfere with getting a degree. it could potentially DELAY getting a certain degree, HOWEVER depending on the the student who btw would be taking coursework at respective universities EVERY Semester, and possibly summers so the education of said student would be CONTINUOUS I hardly would characterize that as 'interfering' with getting a degree, or 'interfering' with education....and isnt education the goal so depending on a definition of goals, it does not have to be a situation of 'interfering' with a degree. Universities do transfer credits, they have for years!!! another 'myth' refuted!!! Your definition of "interfering" is different than mine. Switching schools every other semester would definitely create barriers to achieving a degree in the same time at either institution individually. Thus "interfering". Did not say it could not be done, the applicable term for that would be "preventing". Doubt it has ever been done, not sure why anyone would attempt it. Want to play two sports just find a school that will accommodate that. As far as doing this to get scholarships in 2 different sports at 2 different schools, I highly suspect the NCAA would not allow it. The schools would likely not want to challenge the NCAA on that. So the athlete would have to take legal action themselves, which might take years. Bottomline, this ain't happening any time soon, but can just imagine a SA splitting semesters between 2 arch rivals, e.g., MN and WI. Especially with NIL $$ involved.

Because you still need to show progress towards a degree to be eligible? Credits don't necessarily transfer between schools, especially if alternating semesters. And just a reminder: Bo Jackson was the exception, not the rule. And you had to go how far back to find an example? Most kids today have never even heard of Bo Jackson. I mean, no matter what you think about "pay for play" in college sports (or whatever you're calling it) the point of playing in sports at the college level is still: SCHOOL. It's to get a college degree. Given the limited professional opportunities in our sport, that still should be the focus. Now, they can also get paid for their skills, which brings them in line with general students and their ability to use their skills for profit while attending college. It's basically work-study with better pay than usual. Im not proposing anything that comflicts with progress to a degree, It really would not I get the NCAA and people can creat roadblocks in their mind. Given the proliferation of xfers, the nil rules, the idea of what im suggesting really is not unreasonable for a two sport athlete, of which therecarent too many You very much are proposing something that conflicts with progress towards a degree. Leaving aside how absurd it would be to posit the simple logistics of what you are proposing, there are a lot of additional gating issues, from an academic perspective. Athletes need to hit X # of credits per semester/year in order to be eligible to play. Credits do not all necessarily transfer between schools, and of the ones that do, A LOT of those credits would not transfer to a different program for a major (but may be able to be counted as general ed credits). If the athlete loses credits in the transfer and falls below the requirement for progress towards degree, they would be be ineligible. Athletes already, generally, carry right on the border of eligible when in season (and often carry a heavier load out of season and summer school), so unless every single credit transferred, the athlete is likely to be ruled ineligible. Maybe worth it to know something about a subject before being so certain of your stance.

Is this an odd choice? I can see she's from California from the tag in the tweet. The degree will be a lot better, if she wants to go to grad school. Nothing against Louisville, but Cal is still one of the best public schools in the country. I'd argue it is the best, but the metrics on that stuff are all over the place. I don't feel like I'm owed an explanation, but if someone has more info on it handy and it's not too dramatic, I'd be curious about the reasoning here.

I think she's referring to her new choice of residence.

Oh, that question's way more sophisticated than mine. I was wondering why she posted with the Berkeley backwards. Doh!

Question: I am curious...If a player is transferring in May & has announced/committed to a new school, do they practice in the Spring with the team? Might be easier for grad transfers, but, for example, what about Jess Mruzik? She is graduating (a year early) from UM in May then heading to PSU with 2 years of eligibility left.
