Based on recent talks with a client, here's a reminder about NCAA rules regarding club team participation. An athlete will be charged with a season of eligibility by the NCAA if they competed on a club team at a college or university that sponsored both a varsity team and a club team in the same sport. This applies even if the club (or "JV") team participation was at the JUCO level.
In that situation, an athlete who plays on the club or JV team will be using a season of eligibility if they join an NCAA team at the college where they are/were already enrolled OR if they would transfer to join an NCAA team.
I bring this up because the athletes on this team in question had been specifically told by their coaches that participating on that school's club team would NOT count as a season of NCAA eligibility, in spite of clearly written NCAA rules to the contrary.
