I’m confused. Graduated from Vanderbilt and went to another college to play football? 🤔

Yes it is called a graduate transfer, if you still have NCAA athletic eligibility, you can continue to play as a grad student.

Yes and no. He played college football for Vanderbilt and graduated, but you can transfer. Therefore, he is transferring to Kentucky, a better football program.

This is hardly an uplifting story. Colleges continue to exploit impoverished minority youth for notoriety and significant revenue

He went from homelessness to graduating from one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the country. That’s not uplifting because he plays football?

Players can also now profit off of their name, image, and likeness. So not being exploited as much as they once were. Not to mention, there are different races and backgrounds that play sports. As for the “impoverished minority youth” that you are referring too, athletics can give them an avenue to get out of their situation.
