NCAA warns multiple transfers tied to sharply lower graduation rates in college football
The gap was widest for Football Bowl Subdivision players and Black athletes, with multiple transfers tied to graduation rates 10 to 20 points lower.
- On Wednesday, the NCAA released data showing Bowl Subdivision football players who transferred multiple times had graduation rates 27% lower than non-transfers, describing the findings as a "warning sign."
- Statistics reveal that Black athletes experienced the most significant graduation decline, dropping from 82% for non-transfers to 62% for multiple transfers, a 20-point gap.
- While FBS players saw a 28% decline in graduation rates between non-transfers and multiple transfers, smaller-school Championship Subdivision players saw a 21% decrease; men's basketball, however, saw an uptick in rates for those transferring once.
- NCAA President Charlie Baker argued these court-imposed transfer rules are resulting in worse academic outcomes for student-athletes during a season defined by nationwide eligibility lawsuits.
- The Protect College Sports Act would curtail future eligibility lawsuits against the NCAA, but the legislation faces an uncertain future in Congress and would not impact current legal actions.
