Gonna be a million reasons a kid transfers.
Loyalty to coach.
Get Closer to home.
Get farther away.
Going to better coach/school
Going from lower level to P5 to test themselves.
Going to a lower level for playing time.
Tired of being fan whipping boy.
NIL money.
Dirty booster money.
Whether or not any of this warrants having sports at an institution of higher learning is an interesting question. Not sure fans will root for laundry or want to give money for laundry. Not sure a cascading cast of characters will enhance student recruitment or university giving. Is alum/student entertainment worth it? Long term ?’s that will be answered. My guess is a school will have to sustain winning which is difficult at a Mizzou. Is a mediocre to poor program going to provide the goods to warrant being involved in the sports entertainment industry?
