Vulture Culture: Power-League Members Pick On Mid-Majors Same as Carcass

Possible new NCAA transfer rules could enable non-graduate players to switch schools without requirement to sit out a redshirt season. Some observers fear power-conference members will circle mid-major institutions like vultures. But power-league schools have done so in significant way for years, anyway. Conference USA rosters were hardest hit of late with the Atlantic 10, Mountain West, Big South and Mid-American not far behind. Following is an extensive alphabetical list of mid-major transfers who shifted to and played for power-conference members this decade:
