On the other hand, he wouldn't be the first ND player...

...to come back some time later to complete his requirements.

Is that possible?

If he earns a degree at his new school presumably using his Notre Dame credits, can he still re-enroll at ND and utilize the credits earned at ND?

I hope he does eventually earn some kind of degree from Notre Dame.

Ok, fair point, but to what end?

I’m sure you’re thinking of players who left ND early to go to the NFL, right? Are there others who transferred, did not get to the NFL, and then came back to ND to get their degree? I’m not aware of any.

Does Pyne actually believe he’s going to play in the NFL? He can’t possibly believe that. I get that he wants to play some more football before he hangs it up, but his playing career will be ending very soon. I do not see the point in deferring the attainment of an ND degree to a later date just so that he can go be Rutgers’ QB or whatever in 2023.

It boggles my mind that he’d make that decision and I don’t think he is.

Didn’t DJ Hord transfer for football and then transfer back

course, there was Bill Laimbeer, although his transfer out was not your typical voluntary move.
