That seems to be the way it is in our area, as the local 4-year college has a close working relationship with the local junior college and has pre-approved a range of classes that will readily transfer over. Students that transfer from junior colleges that do not have this relationship might have some troubles with the four-year college with regard to what classes are deemed equivalent.
The juco student athlete is kind of at a disadvantage as compared to the typical juco student since non-athletes can plan their juco curriculum with a pretty good idea of where they want to complete their 4 year degree. Many universities have limits on transfer students, and further limits on transfers into specific majors. The juco athlete doesn't usually know where they will transfer to until sophomore year, so working with the school's academic advisers early and often can help avoid some pitfalls.
