How can I get a release?

bump

U have to be very carefull.

the best thing is in case u deserve a scholarhip and u want that scholarhip again to try to contact friends at the univ where u want to go and get an unofficial promise that the desired program is interested in u in case u are released.

remember 1-first secure your future place thru any means possible, and contact programs u trust.

basically when u ll ask for a release 99% of cases u l lose your scholarhip on the spot, while compliance will try anything legal and illegal to make u uneligible for a transfer-in case u are important....

any other questions?

First, thanks for helping. So, basically if I get released, they can stop me from transferring and getting a scholarship somewhere else? Sorry, a little confused... this is my first time of course

First good reply was spot on. I transferred division I schools and luckily got the same scholarship amount(about 75-80%). I called the school I wanted to go to, and let them know that I was interested in transferring to their school. They were very interested and helped me with the steps I needed to take to make it happen.

I then asked for a release from my current program. That was not fun at all, as you could imagine. They did give it to me after some pressure and some meetings. If scholarship is an issue be careful. Make sure you know your "market value" and don't hang yourself out to dry. Start as early as you can, because some programs may not have scholarships available for next year if you wait too much longer.

But I thought you weren't allowed to contact other schools UNTIL you were released first...? How did you know you would be getting another scholarship there, and how long did you have to wait until you could compete again?

here is the catch.

ncaa rules are saying that a coach is not alowed to speak with a potential transfer wanna be until they are officialy released...

But u can make it simple if u smart enough.

Contact schools u are interested in, send them your resume and your situation and specify they have to ask for a release from your school/ or tell u if they are interested or not.

The ones that are interested will answer with" I am sorry, but ncaa rules are not allowing me to talk with you until you are released by your univ"- However this means- Hell yes we are interested in what u are asking and want!!! and we will continue after u are released.

the ones that are not answering are not interested.

However be carefull and make sure u send emails to coaches that are NOT friends with your current coaching staff!!!!otherwise they will snitch on u.

Also make sure you are doing this when the semester is done after at least 1 year at your current school, and u have enough credits.Also make a list with the reasons because u want to transfer and make sure you have common sense.

Is it really that hard to type "you"? I mean, it's only three letters. Do you type so slowly that the difference between typing "u" and "you" is an issue?

Once u are released by your univ u are FREE:)However that means u are not in your current track team as well, therefore at that point u have no scholarship, and if u don t find anybody interested u ll be out of NCAA Track:)

If u have some value, u should be able to eventually find a program interested in you, even though it will not be an easy process.

IKD WTF U R talking about Willis, as I'm on a BlackBerry

thanks so much for your help..... !!!

this is so tricky :(
