Breaking down CU Buffs football’s academic transfer requirements

The shortest distance between two points is to add an integrated studies degree, making it easier for credits to transfer. The only other Power Five schools with similar academic restrictions are Stanford and Vanderbilt. The Commodores have SEC money but still can’t regularly compete, while Stanford has fallen off of a cliff the past few seasons … do you think that’s because David Shaw forgot how to coach?

When Brian Howell asked Chancellor DiStefano about adding an integrated studies major, noting that Michigan – a respected AAU school – had such a program, DiStefano acted surprised, saying he would look into it.

DiStefano appears content with maintaining the current academic requirements and may even be handcuffed by the university in some regards. So for the time being, the Buffs may have their best luck with JUCO transfers, as was noted.
