it exists for sure. xavier worthy being a prime example. look at the basketball team, they lost terrance shannon and caleb love because the school would not take transfer credits from north carolina or texas tech. they would have had to come in a year behind where they actually were because the university wont takr their credits.
look, this isnt me as a michigan fan bragging about the high standards of michigan preventing them from getting recruits or saying how michigan recruits are somehow better students. theyre not. this is just the admissions department having a stick up their ass about accepting credits that dont 100% align with michigan classes. heck, the guys they got from STANFORD had to drop some credits when they transferred.
its been a huge issue for the basketball team. the football team has been able to get by with grad transfers, stanford-northwestern-virginia transfers, and guys who were previously recruited and vetted (josiah stewart). it could be an issue getting in guys who werent previously vetted.
again, this isnt a brag its an annoyance.
