In response to SomeGuy
As to the question of how the Presidents (or admissions) see basketball transfers generally, I doubt they care.
Exactly. They don't care, because they have no reason to care. The Ivies differ from many (probably the majority) of universities in D1 in that success in intercollegiate sports isn't essential to the fundamental health of the institution. As far as I can tell, there are only two things that would make them care: 1) if, for some reason, a specific sports program becomes a genuine embarrassment to the institution or 2) if a group of alumni that is sufficiently large, sufficiently wealthy and sufficiently generous becomes sufficiently strident about a specific program that the president has to take them seriously. Otherwise, we're stuck with the status quo for the foreseeable future.
