That’s BS. 
#1.  College sports fans do not give a crap about athletes getting educated.  If they did, donations, attendance and coaching retention would be based on grad rates, not wins and losses.
2. That education excuse is what the NCAA has used for decades to suppress student athletes rights for freedom of movement.
3. That’s what the predominantly white fan base, boosters and administrators have used to keep control over the predominantly minority and poor athletes.
4. If that BS were true, why do the vast majority of sports not have any restrictions on transfers? None. Do transfers only effect the eduction of football, basketball and hockey players?  Are you saying that athletes in the other sports are inherently smarter than the ones in the aforementioned sports?  I would hope not. 
5.  Normal students (who are predominantly white and middle-upper class) transfer at a far greater rate than do student athletes (this year’s numbers notwithstanding.)  No one seems worried about their education. I wonder why that is? (Not really.  Follow the money. Find the less empowered.)
