Grad Transfer Rules - have they changed?

[blion72]

listening to a show about Russel Wilson's transfer from NC State to Wisky, there was some controversy. Evidently the graduate academic program he was transferring into existed at NSC. the rule was supposedly you could only transfer to a school that had a grad program you wanted that was not available at your current school. there was some dispute about this. also you had to be academically admitted to the program at the new school, and some Wisky student objected this was bypassed. I went to NCAA grad transfer rules, and cannot find any of this.

did something change between his transfer and now?

The NCAA calls them rules but considering how many exceptions are granted, they should be called suggestions instead.

Can’t argue with ‘ya.

Like you mentioned, there used to be a rule that in order to use the grad transfer, the grad program you wanted wasn't available at your current school. That's long since been removed from the rulebook.

Your question should have been "Are they enforced?".

From the rule's inception, the definition of what constituted a different program was so broad as to be meaningless (which is probably why that section was stricken). If School A's masters program in advanced basket weaving had one or two courses that School B's didn't then School A was deemed to offer a program that wasn't available at School B. Also to " be academically admitted to the program at the new school" of course the transfer has to be admitted. No admission, no enrollment, no play. Did Wilson go through the same admission process as a non-football player? Who knows, but probably not? So what? Did the "Wisky student" object to the likelihood that this was applicable to his entire team?

That was an asinine rule to begin with.
