Buddy runs a story by me about a friend's daughter (current Sr. in HS) who wants to transfer from school A (public D1) to school B (private D2). Just signed a letter of intent with school A but now wants to switch to school B. Was told she would have to sit out a year if she does this. I said I didn't think so and thought she could burn her one time transfer as she was going from a D1 to a D2, but that I wasn't sure and I'd check.
Then he started asking about the differences between D1 and D2 and the transfer rules between the different levels. At this point, he reveals that the school he mentioned (public D1) was just a hypothetical school that he was using in the conversation - not realizing that it made a difference. In reality, she signed with one D2 but had a better financial offer at another D2 and now wants to switch.
I'm pretty sure this is why she was told she would have to sit out a year. But by this time, my head was spinning since the original info was hypothetical. So, at this point, if she wants to attend the other D2, she would be required to sit out a year - correct?
