Say you are a walk on at school X and you reach out to school Y to transfer and get offered a full ride. Do you still have to sit a year or is that only the rule for scholarship athletes?

Not sure if you are still looking for the answer but I found this so I think the answer is yes:


Non-recruited Student Exception

A student-athlete may transfer and play immediately if he or she met the following conditions at the first institution:

  • The student-athlete was not recruited according to the NCAA’s definition of recruiting;
  • The student-athlete never received an athletic scholarship; and
  • The student-athlete did not practice or compete at all in athletics at the original school except for one 14-day period (i.e. a tryout).

But wouldn't this mean he/she would have to sit out since if he/she is a walk on they obviously played and practiced with the team?

•The student-athlete did not practice or compete at all in athletics at the original school except for one 14-day period (i.e. a tryout).

The question wasn't specific enough but that's true as well.
