College basketball
Have there been any college basketball players at the NCAA Division I level that have transferred from, then back to, a basketball program? 147.126.10.74 (talk) 02:50, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's even normally possible; under NCAA transfer rules, an athlete who transfers between programs generally loses a year of eligibility in the transfer. If they played as a freshman at university A, and transferred to university B, they would have to wait until they were a junior to play at university B.  If they then transferred again, they would lose a second year of eligibility (their senior year), and now can't play anymore.  There are exemptions built into the transfer rule, so there may be some quirks that make it possible, but it would be difficult under the standard rules to do so.  Under the basic transfer regulations, you must spend an academic year in residence at the school to which you are transferring. If you transfer from a four-year college to an NCAA school, you must complete one academic year in residence at the new school before you can play for or receive travel expenses from the new school, unless you qualify for a transfer exception or waiver.  -- Jayron 32 10:59, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * What about redshirting or graduate transfers? If a player used either one, they would have enough time to do so. 147.126.10.74 (talk) 06:51, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Possibly. Among the many college basketball transfers that happen, only a very small number of people transfer twice.  You are correct, it is just possible given those possibilities.  This article covers some of those players who did do so.  I don't see anyone who transferred back to their original school however.  They all played at 3 schools.  -- Jayron 32 14:24, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

"Oh, oh, oh ..."
There's a song on a drug commercial: "Oh, oh, oh Ozempic" -- the tune is very familiar, from 70s (I believe). I can't place the song, and its driving me nuts. Anybody? —2606:A000:1126:28D:84A8:1E5E:5535:59A2 (talk) 14:49, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Magic (Pilot song). -- Jayron 32 15:15, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Good memory . Getta load of the 70's haircuts and clothes. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 15:19, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's a little before my time, but only a little. 70s and 80s soft rock was ubiquitous in my childhood home. -- Jayron 32 16:03, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks! —2606:A000:1126:28D:84A8:1E5E:5535:59A2 (talk) 15:39, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
