Bengal, you make a good point that even a single transfer into the Ivy League can have an important impact. Clinton Dawson and Patrick Witt played key roles in football and Jeff Foote played an equally key role in Cornell’s Ivy League basketball championships.

In addition to the limitations on the size of the pool of admitted transfer for each respective school, it is equally important to take into account to changes to the Ivy League admissions policies. The historical preferences for legacy and student athlete applicants is being challenged, including in the courts. If a school takes only 12 to 18 total transfers and if that same school takes in a disproportionate number of athlete transfers, then it could create some challenges to its admissions policies.

It will be interesting to follow transfer patterns at the nation’s top academic schools. Ivy plus academically oriented universities (e.g., Duke, Northwestern, Stanford, Notre Dame) have recently been increasing the number of transfers that they take in. Even Johns Hopkins in D3 has been increasing the number of transfer athletes that it admits.
