The Hopp Stop

Borders had inquired on the rules for college athlete transfers. Looks like the only way to do so w/o sitting out a year is if you’ve already gotten your undergrad degree.

FYI to the Hopp Stop readers, I’m going to install this plugin tonight so that you can find out about replies to your comments w/o having to keep checking that post. Hopefully will lead to extended discussions.
