Transfer rules ?

[Wildgopher]

Let's say a kid is on scolly at someplace like Southtern Ct or CCSC or Maine, and he decides that is not where he wants to stay. He has a couple coaches he wants to get into contact with to see about a transfer, but is not sure what the process is and wants it to be all legal.
Can he personally get in contact with the coach if both schools are finished playing for the season, or does a parent need to do the legwork.
Can anyone help with this?

I think you need to get a release first but don't quote me

Getting Permission to Contact:
• If a recruit is enrolled full-time in a 4 year school they need to get a written letter from their AD or compliance officer.
• If a recruit signed the NLI they will need to request a release from their coach.
• They can write to any NCAA college, but they can’t receive a response until that coach has your permission to contact and/or release papers.
• The recruit’s current school can deny permission or their release. They can also determine where they are allowed to transfer to. Intra-conference rules will vary.
o In this case you can appeal or you will have to sit out a year.
o If you sit out a year, you must pass a full-time schedule without taking summer classes.

*The recruit does not need permission if transferring from an NJCAA or NCCAA school.

*If the recruit is transferring from DIII to DIII, they can use a self release. The form and instructions are available on the NCAA Web site at ncaa.org.

*If the recruit is transferring from an NAIA school, they can speak to any other coach, yet that coach needs to inform the school the recruit has contacted them.
