Altho I can't answer the question about a problem transferring for financial reasons, I would like to address one thing that you said:
quote:
... have son go Freshman year to prove himself and try to earn more $$.
We were in a similar situation with one of the schools that had offered our son a scholly ... and even tho we told him that we would support his decision to go to that (expensive) school if that is what he wanted, in our hearts we were concerned that he if he went there, he might put too much pressure on himself to try and "earn more $$" ...
You and I have had some interesting (private) discussions about some of these scholly ideas, and I just wanted to throw this in (not that I really want to give you anything else to worry about) for you and others to consider ... playing D-1 baseball at a tough academic school is hard enough without having a son worry about whether he is stretching the parental purse strings and whether or not he can help out by earning more money that may or may not come the following year.
Unless the school is an absolute "fit" academically and athletically, a "dream" school for our son, I would have to really think twice, thrice, maybe four times, about the added pressure of the finances for our son. Granted, if our son had been invited to play for some of his "dream schools" we would have been more than willing to stretch the purse strings ... but neither he nor we felt that was a good option for a school that he "really liked" that wasn't one of his "dream schools".
