Transfer rules have nothing to do with scholarships. All walk-ons are subject to any transfer rule. Changing sports also matters not.

 

Not true. From the NCAA:

 

14.5.5.2.9 Nonrecruited Student Exception. The student transfers to the certifying institution, and the following conditions are met:

(a) The student-athlete was not recruited by the certifying institution (per Bylaw 13.02.10.1);

(b) No athletically related financial assistance has been received by the student-athlete; and

© The student-athlete has neither competed nor engaged in other countable athletically related

activities in intercollegiate athletics prior to transfer, except that a student may have participated in limited preseason tryouts.

This is the key to what I said about scholarships not mattering.

 

I played as a walk on at one school, then transfered as a walk on to UK and had to redshirt a year. The reason for this rule is that the athlete fitting all these conditions also has not started thier eligibility clock, so technically they don't transfer between programs.

Any updates on Krebs? And yes it was Tubby's call, not becaue of his transfer.

I remember hearing that the NCAA made a rule that if you complete your degree, you can transfer to another school with no penalty. For instance, if you red shirt your freshman year and then play three more years and complete your degree you can go to any school your fifth year with no penalty. I believe it was incentive for the players to complete their degree and get to another program if they so choose.

If your transfer up as in DII to DI you have to sit out. But I am pretty sure if you go from DI to DII you don't have to.

 

I think you are correct HammerTime. Clarett was going to be able to play immediately had he transferred to Grambling State a 1AA school.

I believe this is a one-year rule. It was created last year and I think they are getting rid of it.
