If any of them get a year on a P4 program...they are going to make a lot more off of that one year than even the higher earning people just out of college.

If you are just bouncing around G5...your not going to be be nearly as well off. Graduation rates are already bad in this group so you would probalby just be comparing different versions of bad. Unless you get a degree from a famous "network effect" university, it doesn't really matter where the degree came from. Every one of thos analyses show that it matters more what you study than where you study.

From everything I understand, graduation rates amongst collegiate athletes are at all time high, including for college basketball players. Last data the NCAA released claimed an 85% four-cohort graduation success rate amongst D1 college basketball players.

There has been a lot of talk about how athletes that transfer multiple times during their collegiate career are hurting their chances at obtaining a diploma. While it intuitively seems like it would be true, I'm not sure the data is actually backing this claim up. I would be very interested to see how graduation rates compare amongst players that transfer a single time vs. players that transfer multiple times - I haven't been able to find any good data on this yet.
