Student basketball transfers are really common

For the Washington Post, Emily Giambalvo, Kati Perry, and Jesse Dougherty analyze the playing time for players who transferred from another program.

To understand the phenomenon and its impact, look no further than the men’s and women’s NCAA tournament fields. On the men’s side, 53 percent of all rotation players previously logged minutes at another Division I school, according to a Washington Post analysis. Roughly one-third of these key contributors — the top eight players in total minutes on each roster — played for another D-I program just last season.

Now I want an analysis for academics and research prowess. “I will be taking my statistical talents to the University of California, Berkeley this semester.”
