Re: Yackley to transfer from ISU.

She will have to sit out this year. If you read page 20 of the guide you referenced more closely you will see that it reads this for the one-time transfer exception:



So she cannot use the one-time transfer exception because she is a basketball player. It is the same scenario as Jill Young was in. Her playing status has nothing to do with her being released or not released. If she's released she can get a scholarship this year while NOT playing. If she IS NOT released then she CANNOT get a scholarship while NOT playing this year.

Noted and accepted. When I read that, I thought it said mens basketball, but what it says is mens hockey directly behind basketball. My daughter was a volleyball player so taht is why she was exempted.

Well done BTownJack

You are correct on that one. She still has 3 years of playing time left.

As long as she didn't redshirt at ISU, she will have 3 years left. If she didn't redshirt then this year off because of transferring can essentially be considered a redshirt year as well.

Re: Yackley to transfer from ISU.

Just to restate what the two previous posters said...

Sitting out a year because of a transfer counts against the 5-year clock but not the 4-year clock(as in you have five years to compete in four). If she redshirted as a freshman, the transfer would effectively cost her a year of eligibility. If she played as a true freshman, than she can use the year after the transfer to effectively redshirt.
