NCAA transfer rules apply to him. Also means that SEC transfer rules apply to him.

Which means:
1) Auburn can refuse to let him speak with LSU
2) Auburn can refuse to grant him a waiver to freely transfer to LSU
3) SEC transfer rules dictate that he must sit out 2 years before becoming eligible
Yes, except for about half of your post.



He never signed his LOI, and as such has no need or requirement to seek release.

There is nothing to be released from.

He is not under scholarship. . .but he is still an athlete, and thereby under the thumb of the NCAA.

Miller could transfer anywhere he chooses, singing "frick Auburn, and your tree toilet papering homoerotica!!!", and AU can't do a damn thing about it.

That is the jest of what I posted and he said I was wrong about. The LOI not being signed is the part I think he's missing. All Miller signed was a financial aid agreement which is no different than a normal student as I understand it but that could be somewhat wrong as I really don't know the full details. I've never really paid attention to transfers like this one would be because we haven't really had a situation come up. The Porter situation is the same really but I don't know the full or correct details of how his worked. I just know for sure he wasn't allowed to be on scholarship this past season. If anyone knows the full details of how Porter's transfer worked then we'd have a pretty strong baseline to work from aside from the LOI part because Porter signed one.

This all might be a lot clearer if he wanted to leave LSU for Auburn or Bama.

If that's true, why did Blakely have to be granted a release from Muschamp, and why did he have to sit out a year due to transfer rules? He had to sit out 1 thanks to the release Muschamp gave, versus 2.

What? Are you saying that he is paying full tuition to attend Auburn University right now?

Not signing the LOI means diddly squat at this point. He's attending classes at Auburn right now. If he wasn't willing to pay for them at LSU, you think he is paying for them at Auburn? He's a scholarship athlete at Auburn, which is a member school of the SEC and NCAA. Therefore he is subject to all rules that apply to scholarship athletes at Auburn, the SEC and the NCAA. He is basically under whatever rules everybody else is under.
