I'm an assistant coach at a DII school and we recently had an International student transfer in. He has eligibility remaining at the university level, but our compliance person (who's brand new to the compliance business) has told us that the athlete will have to sit out a year before potentially joining our team. He said that if he were an "exchange student" then he found a rule that could permit the student to compete this semester. From what he's telling us, he can't find a rule that states that an International Transfer would be eligible upon transferring to a 4 year in the states. Given the number of International athletes that i see on other rosters that show up as (So) or (Jr) and who competed at universities overseas, I'm guessing there is a rule that allows this? Thanks in advance for any serious replies.
