FWIW, Nathaniel Peat is already enrolled at Mizzou and was officially announced by the team as a transfer. That move made perfect sense for him (sans the degree).

Can't a player simply apply credits from the transfer institution, finish at Stanford and receive a Stanford degree? this is what some players did in the past, e.g. Tim Carey transferred to Hawaii, finished his football career there, but completed his academic career at Stanford and received his degree. As long as more than half the required credits were earned at Stanford you could do this in the past. If it's still the case then there's obviously even less incentive to eschew transferring since the "40 Year Decision" still holds except for a brief football playing detour elsewhere. Perhaps someone on the board knows what the current rules are.

• Undergraduates who have completed (or plan to complete) course work at a non-Stanford, regionally accredited college or university may request an evaluation for transfer credit. External coursework may be considered for transfer credit if all of the following conditions are met:
• • The course work is completed at a regionally accredited institution.
    
  • The course work is substantially similar to Stanford courses.
    
  • The final grade posted for each potential transfer course is a 'C-' grade (or better).
    
  • The course work does not duplicate, overlap, or regress previous work.
    
  • The university or college offering the courses allows these courses to be used for credit towards its own undergraduate degree.
    
  • The course work did not count towards secondary school diploma and/or graduation requirements.
    
  • No more than 45 (90 for transfer students) quarter units of credit for work done elsewhere may be counted toward a bachelor's degree at Stanford.
    
  Transfer work can be used to satisfy a department major or minor requirement. The transfer work must first be officially accepted into the University through the Office of the University Registrar. After the transfer credit has been approved and posted by the Office of the University Registrar, the departments determine if the approved transfer work can be used to satisfy a department major or minor requirement. Students should contact their departments directly for additional details regarding departmental transfer credit policies.

of course one complication could be junior and senior year required courses (and maybe some other unique Stanford undergrad required courses) that may or may not be given at the other University
