Not according to the NCAA 2007-2008 Transfer Guide, if I read it right.

Exceptions (from sitting out 1 year) for Divisions I and II
If this is your first transfer …If you have never transferred before from a four-year school, you might be able to use the one-time transfer exception to play right away at a Division I or II school. To use this exception, you must:
1. Be playing a sport other than basketball in Division I, men's ice hockey in Division I or football in Division I. Note that in football you may be eligible to use this exception if:
a. You transfer from a Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) school to a football championship subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) school and have at least two seasons of competition remaining; or
b. You transfer from a football championship subdivision (formerly I-AA) school that offers athletics scholarships to a football championship subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) that does not offer
athletics scholarships.
Note: If you do not qualify for this exception due to any of the conditions in Subsection 1 above, you may be able to use the exception if you were not recruited by your first four-year school and have never received an athletics scholarship.
Important Note: If you play Division I baseball, you will not be eligible to use this exception after August 1, 2008.
It is important that the rule be understood. It doesn't say...unless you are transfering to D2. I take it to mean regardless of division going to, you miss a year if you took one dollar of scholly money.
