But isn't that rule superceded by the transfer portal and the waiver of the one-year residency? For instance the rule mentions the one-year residency (meaning the player would have to sit out one year at his new school) but the NCAA abolished that with the one-time transfer waiver.

Let me repost & include this first part too. Once a player signs a NLI, they are with that team for 1 yr. Only way out is to request a full release, which can be granted or denied.

quote:

Once a National Letter of Intent is signed, prospective student-athletes are no longer subject to further recruiting contacts and calls.
Student-athletes are assured of an athletic scholarship for a minimum of one full academic year.If you sign an NLI with an institution and want a release to go somewhere else you must face a penalty if the initial institution doesn't grant you a complete release. The NLI basic penalty is that you lose one year of competition in all sports and must serve one year in residence at your next NLI institution.

No.

The NLI complete release and the NCAA One-Time Transfer Exception are two different policies. The fact that a student is eligible for the NCAA One-Time Transfer Exception does not mean a student-athlete has received a complete release pursuant to the NLI program, nor does being granted the NCAA One-Time Transfer Exception eliminate the penalty provisions of the NLI.

Dude made a terrible decision coming out of hs. He wants to be a winner and Bama allows him to do that right away.

I respectfully disagree. The sole purpose of the transfer portal is so kids don't have to get a release from their present school before transferring. Otherwise, there's really no reason for the portal.

The portal is a separate issue from the waiver of a year in residence. The year in residence doesn't refer to their present school, it refers to the school to which they transfer. It simply means they would be ineligible at their new school during their "year in residence."

The NCAA then tacked on the one-time transfer waiver that did away with intelligibility for that one year in residence requirement.

Okay, I see. What's confusing to me is, what's the use of the portal and waiver if they still need a release?

What's the use of signing a national letter of intent if they can head straight out the portal? Gotta draw a line somewhere. Athletes are only bound by the NLI for their first year. Can hit the transfer portal as a SO or RS Fr.

Do you have a link to the source material, by any chance? I need to brush up on my rules a bit, apparently.

Lots of bench warming will be happening at Bama. Let’s see how long that will last?

Problem with the comparisons to free agency aren't even close, unless you start having them sign legally binding contracts or reinstate the 1 year residency the transfer portal is going to benefit the Elites. Small schools are always going to be on the bad end of this.

If a major university was smart their priority would be making a multimillion dollar fund under an nil and recruit the best sophomores each year.

Could you please post a link to the material you quoted from? I'm guessing there's a lot of information I'd like to know regarding transfers, scholarship documents, NLI, etc. Thanks.
