BCHS4422 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Just trying to get this figured out. If a player attends a JUCO school and then the school turns into a four year school during the players second year does he have to sit out a year if he transfers to another four year school? The player was not aware of the change before he signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' Also, scholarships are renewable on a yearly basis. I would recommend, he consult with his adviser, on any educational concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHS4422 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Strike 3 I guess I still don't understand. If the JUCO changes to a four year school during the players normal last year under a Junior college rules and he wants to transfer to a division 1 scholl the ncaa says he has to set out a year is that right?

bluegrass Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Ballfour - I assume you're talking about a situation like St Caths? Honestly, that is an interesting scenario. I would refer to the NCAA guidelines on transfer and probably call the NCAA office. I would BELIEVE that the player would be held to the original expectations and they would obtain their associate degree or required number of hours and be able to transfer as originally intended. However, I DO NOT know that - just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHS4422 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yea bluegrass you are right however, when I called the NCAA they were unsure because they haven't had this before. I will keep you posted with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcat84 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I believe this same senario occurred at Spalding a couple of years ago but I am not sure of the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
