Stanford football and basketball success in the past has been driven by large contributions from 4th and 5th year seniors. With athletes entering early in the spring or summer, many athletes can graduate in three years. In this transfer portal world, Stanford has below average attrition of non-grad transfers as the appeal of the degree is big. Once the degree is in hand, the allure of the transfer portal and NIL is large. (as evidenced by Kiki and Wyrick in the last week). Would either of them be in a position to transfer out with a degree at this point without summer school credits? Would we be better off for the athletes to be training all summer without taking classes so they can get the full four year Stanford experience?
