He was 5-12 against top 25 opponents. Thats not lose "sometimes".

I might not be right. It is how I am interpreting the rules. There are analyst that are saying they will not be able to play. I do not consider Kendall Rogers an analyst

It's not all black and white. Some of it can be interpreted different ways as well.

14.5.5 Four-Year College Transfers. An undergraduate transfer student from a four-year institution is eligible for competition if at the time of transfer to the certifying institution (see Bylaw 14.5.2), the student would have been academically eligible to compete had the student remained at the institution where the student most recently attended class during a regular term as a full-time student, except that the student is not required to have fulfilled percentage-of-degree requirements at the previous institution. (Revised: 4/18/24)



14.5.5.4 Baseball, Basketball and Softball -- Midyear Enrollee. In baseball, basketball and softball, a student-athlete who initially enrolls at the certifying institution as a full-time student after the conclusion of the first term of the academic year and satisfies the applicable four-year college transfer requirements (see Bylaw 14.5.5) shall not be eligible for competition until the ensuing academic year. (See Bylaw 14.6.1.1 for the application to graduate transfer student-athletes.) (Adopted: 6/24/09, Revised: 4/26/17 effective 8/1/17, 1/12/23 effective 8/1/23, 4/18/24) If transfers after the 1st term is not eligible

14.4.3.1.2 Transfer. To be eligible for competition, a transfer student-athlete must meet the following credit-hour requirements based on attendance at the previous institution or institutions for the specified time and may use any hours of academic credit earned at any collegiate institution: (Adopted: 10/31/02 effective 8/1/03, Revised: 5/12/05)

(a) Equivalent of one semester/one quarter: six semester or six quarter hours of academic credit;

(b) Equivalent of one academic year (e.g., two semesters/three quarters): 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of academic credit;

(c) Equivalent of three semesters/four quarters: 30 semester or 42 quarter hours of academic credit; or

(d) Equivalent of four semesters/six quarters and thereafter: six semester or six quarter hours of academic credit during the previous term of full-time enrollment, if applicable (see Bylaw 14.4.3.1.2.1).

13.1.1.4.1.1.1 Head Coach Departure or Athletics Aid Reduction, Cancellation or Nonrenewal. A student-athlete may initiate notification of transfer during a 30 consecutive-day period beginning the day after any of the following occurs: (Adopted: 8/31/22 applicable to transfer student-athletes seeking eligibility during the 2023-24 academic year and thereafter, Revised: 8/1/24)

(a) The head coach of the student-athlete's team departs or announces departure from the institution; or

(b) The student-athlete received or was issued athletically related financial aid after the academic year of initial, full-time enrollment at the certifying institution and such aid is reduced, canceled or not renewed after the period of award, unless the recipient:

(1) Is rendered ineligible for intercollegiate competition based on the recipient's action or inaction;

(2) Fraudulently misrepresents any information on an application, letter of intent or financial aid agreement (see Bylaw 15.3.4.2.4);

(3) Engages in serious misconduct warranting substantial disciplinary penalty (see Bylaw 15.3.4.2.5);

(4) Voluntarily (on the recipient's own initiative) withdraws from a sport at any time for personal reasons;

(5) Violates a nonathletically related condition outlined in the financial aid agreement or violates a documented institutional rule or policy (e.g., academics policies or standards, athletics department or team rules or policies); or

(6) Provides written notification of transfer to the institution.

So my interpretation is if they are in good academic standing in the first term and transfer to another college before the start of the second term (spring) they will be eligible. Along with the coach leaving provisions

I found this NCAA Legislative Services Database

I did find information that does say as long as the Student Athlete is in good academic standing, in the Fall semester and transfers due to coaching change that happens in the Fall semester they would be eligible to "play immediately in the Spring Semester.

If they are just transferring because they aren't playing or are not going to play then they do have to sit out a season. But there could still be alot of confusion. In the link you can go though other requirements as well. It does say that if you transfer in the same semester (after spring semester starts) you will not be eligible.



Its a lot of reading :dope:

If Tony Vitello leaves in October 2025

That’s mid-fall semester, before the spring 2026 baseball season begins.

Players can enter the transfer portal immediately

Because of the “coaching change exception,” players can enter the portal right away, even though it’s not a normal transfer window.

Baseball’s normal window is 45 days after the championship selections (June–July) and again for 14 days in December — but a head coach leaving opens a special window.

Eligibility for the 2026 season

If a player transfers in October, November, or December 2025, they can enroll at a new school by the spring semester (January 2026).

As long as:

It’s their first transfer, and

They meet academic progress requirements,
they’ll be immediately eligible to play in the 2026 baseball season.

If it’s their second transfer:

They’ll need to request a waiver for immediate eligibility (though the coaching change could strengthen their case).

Bottom line:
If Tony Vitello leaves in October 2025, Tennessee baseball players who transfer right after that will almost certainly be eligible to play for their new teams in the 2026 season — unless they’ve already transferred once before.

That's awful! Just awful. They'll just have to think about it while sitting between their '91, '93, '96, '97, '00, '09, '23 and '25 championship trophies.
