Kaleb Diers Ms. Champion Kirkwood Comp April 9th 2024 Transfer Portal Consequenses The article titled, “Many Players Finding The Grass Looks Greener Through The College Transfer Portal” was written by Don Yaeger during the fall of 2023 and featured on Forbes.

Lastly, Alessandro Portelli’s They Say in Harlan County supports my argument in terms of rivalries. In Harlan County, Lynch football and basketball were known to be the best.

Even during early development in this Appalachian county, rivalry was always a topic of discussion.
This point made by Applet shows the true number of students that are transferring while making it clear and concise for readers to understand. Applet shows the perspective of college athletes on education is ever shifting, and now with the considerable amounts of NIL deals being produced, it has become quite distracting and has led to an excessive number of students transferring schools.

There are fewer postsecondary institutions in Kentucky perhaps leads to why the cost may be more than in California. The higher education Master Plan in California if by far more complex than Kentucky and due to roles of three bodies, California Community Colleges (CCC), California State University (CSU), and the University of California (UC). Each one of those has boards that are afforded a significant amount of control as opposed to Kentucky’s Council on Postsecondary Education. The concern in higher education is funding particularly post-pandemic.

Something that is new to me is that in Kentucky Core Academic Standards there is school expectations in it. An example is that a school must increase student attendance rate and reduce physical and mental health barriers to learning. Something that I read that surprised me was that the KY Core Academic Standards is only an outline of the minimum content standards required for all students before graduating from a public high school in Kentucky.

In the KY Core Academic Standards, it explains how it helps to ensure that all students are being provided with common content and receive the same opportunities to learn.
