NOT MOVING ON UP. When the one-time transfer exception was first discussed, I remember folks being extremely concerned that it would result in the elite programs simply taking all the good players from lesser programs.

That is happening to a point (I see you, Alabama), but it's nowhere near the sky-is-falling level that was predicted. In fact, the data shows pretty much the opposite is happening: the vast majority of players who transfer end up moving down in competition level.
