(Soccer) Transfers

Bummed to see Keith Washington, or any player, transfer out of Michigan.  You get attached to the players on your team and it stinks that it doesn't work out for all of them.  It seems like there is a transfer epidemic in college football.  I started googling to see if this was the case.  I found that  46.7% of top 100 basketball players transfer (in 2011).  But that isn't football.   I found this article that says football transfers are actually below the average at 4.1%.   Soccer is actually the leader at 13.7%. I suppose it makes sense.  If you're competive and you want to play at the highest level you'll find a place that you can play at your highest level.
