summer ball & release

Not sure of the particulars but know of a player who got his release at the beginning of last summer. Played in the NECBL before choosing which school to attend in the fall.

Thanks Coach Merc. I have heard of that too but I think I'll give the NCAA a call, I don't want to tell them wrong.

I'm not 100% positive, but I don't think the NCAA would have any issues with this situation. For instance, I know of Junior College players that have completed their two years of play and haven't signed with a four year and have played on teams in some of the better summer leagues.

I can think of two possible scenarios that may be more likely than the NCAA having an issue with your situation. A specific summer league may have a rule in their by-laws that a player must be on a college roster. More likely I think would be the summer team and/or summer coach would have a relationship with the college coach that got him placed on the summer team, and with the player no longer on that college team, the summer coach or college coach may want a different player filling that summer roster spot. That situation may be addressed in the contract the player signed with the summer team.

Thank you CIl, I know he's playing, but I don't know where. I'll tell them to check the contract he signed.

Cat I have found the NCAA very helpful if you phon them. I would get the answer from them just to be4 sure. I a;ways phone them if I have a question.

I agree BobbleheadDoll
