Reply to "Transfer from D3 to D1/D2?? Rules?"

My apologies for being late on weighing in with a comment.  TPM is right in that the baseline rule to start with for a transfer to NCAA Division I, or frankly to any NCAA division, is that an athlete is not eligible to compete in their first year at the new school, UNLESS they satisfy one of the exceptions that allows that athlete to be immediately eligible.  

Those exceptions are common in Division II and III, as well as in Division I sports other than baseball, basketball, football, and men's ice hockey.  While not as common in those 4 Division I sports, exceptions are available.  In addition, certain conditions must be met for an athlete to take advantage of those exceptions, so a simple "yes or no" answer to the original question isn't appropriate until those conditions are explained and discussed.
