pride of being ND is that we are different from everyone else and the academics are big component. That being said in an environment where transfers are at will I think anytime a player who improves their game and their "stock" they are a target. If they dont love the academics or maybe it is more difficut than they anticipated, I can see if being a factor.

The other factor is these are 18-22 year old kids. They make mistakes or sometines what they want in life changes. College athletes have long been one of the few categories of kids who could not freely change their mind. To put into context ND has a 97% retention rate after freshman year which is outstanding but that still means there are 60-70 kids who dont come back for sophomore year so it should not be surprising to see players with more opportunities to move do so.
