The chance to work on an advanced degree may be a motivator for JB. Life after basketball.

Jordan graduated in December of 2022. He was enrolled in a UL grad program in the spring semester. I don’t know which program it was.

NCAA really needs to set up something similar to APR for grad transfers. If someone gets to avoid sitting out because they claim grad transfer but then doesn't stay to complete that post graduate degree, that school should reep some consequence. I.e. for the next two years even grad transfers that go there still have to sit out. (The sitting out year can give them good progress on that degree)

When the graduate transfer exception was first introduced it was supposed to be only if your school didn't have the graduate program you were interested in taking. Not sure when/why they changed that.

…any word on a possible VC grad as a walk on?

Boomer I’ve seen VC play twice last year and they aren’t very good. The last one from VC that walked on, I dominated in an alumni game at 34 and he was on the team.

You should absolutely be rewarded with immediate eligibility upon transfer if you’re a 4 year graduate. Graduating in less than 5 years as an athlete is commendable, to do so in less than 4 years should be applauded and rewarded.

The system will get better once the “Covid year” is no longer in play. Not saying it will be fixed, but there will be one less card in the players’ hand.

The VC kid will no longer be joining the team.

if you believe they arent taking any short cuts. quite the dillemma, they put all these mickey mouse classes, extra summer terms, correspondence credits (now online only courses) “academic assistance centers” to keep players eligible, general studies degrees with barely 120 hours, but then it starts to lead to “early” graduates. ruhroh… yet they cant come out and say the graduate didnt deserve to transfer without sitting out or else the eligibility of most of the other players would tumble under the house of cards that was built

Half of college students graduate by taking Mickey Mouse classes and finish with a mountain of debt and worthless degree and are no better prepared for the real world than when they got there.
