I fully understand the difference.The grad transfer is an exception to the NCAA rule needing a release to be immediately eligible and to my knowledge has nothing to do with the BIG transfer rule so he would STILL lose a year of competition if he transferred to a BIG school. How may different posters and how many times are posters going to not get that NCAA and BIG transfer rules are NOT the same.
I could respond just as snarkily -- how many times do I need to post that grad transfers inherently fit under the B10 "inadmissibility" exception?
Since apparently I have to do it once more: the NCAA rule allows grad transfers where the new school offers a grad major that the old school doesn't. By definition, if a grad school doesn't offer a major, the student is inadmissible there.
