Not sure what the credit transfer problem is but I sure hope we keep the same standard as any other student transferring in.
I don't follow the transfer portal but I hear on local radio that it is not all that. What is the success schools are having?
We weren’t taking course credits earned from the previous institutions. So guys that were looking to transfer in were being asked to take classes again. Chase lost something like 30 credit hours when he transferred. I mean he has a degree from Clemson and took classes at Duke and he lost credits because they didn’t transfer. I mean I am all for academic integrity but WTF? He wasn’t trying to transfer African Studies classes from UNC.
Obviously there is a problem with that transfer credits that should to be addressed if its keeping us from being competitive on the amount of good for the University and money that football generates for the High Country. Perfect issue for Dale Jones to ask help from his close connections so it could benefit his job performance too.
It should have absolutely nothing at all to do with the football program. The University policy across the board should be looked at. Every student and potential student should be looked at equally. If this truly is a problem I wonder how many great students we are missing out on.
I can't speak to the general student body, but know of players in multiple sports that have had classes from other in-state universities not transfer in. These weren't D's either which I'm fine with us not taking. If a kid can make a C or better at a sister institution in our system then it should always get accepted. I've heard of players coming from both Wake and Duke have classes rejected.

Maybe they’re getting just a national-class education at those other schools. We only offer world-class.
