Transfer rules

You can transfer from one Division I program to another without sitting out. However, certain conferences have rules that require an athlete to sit out if they transfer within the conference. Football, hockey and basketball transfers must sit out. You need a release to speak to another coach, however an intermediary can talk to another coach on a player's behalf, but most coaches will still ask if a release has been granted. Contact the NCAA membership services at 317-917-6222. They can provide you with specifics.

You can also download the NCAA "Transfer Guide" from the ncaa.org website. It gives examples of transfer scenarios. Call the number in the previous post.
