Bad News for Duke

[grinderpete]

Football and basketball players sit out the year all the time. I cant imagine it would be any different for lacrosse players. The difference however would be that they were transferring due to the fact there was no team to play on at their current college and not simply because they wanted to play on a better team.

It is different. Non-revenue sport.

Does the NCAA say it is different? If so, where can I find that information from the NCAA? Thanks.

as i understand it, you only have to sit out a year if you transfer in-conference.

[grinderpete]

You only have to sit out a year if the coach doesn't "approve" of the transfer. Think of Yevoli who transfered to SU from UVa or Renowski(?) who transfered to Hopkins from UNC a couple of years ago. I think Danny may be right about in conference (but that may be a conf. by conf decision)

I have no idea who those never before heard of players are or even what sport they play in.

I thought that if you transfer from a NCAA Division 1 school to another Division 1 school, you have to sit out one year. If you transfer from Division 1 to Division 2 or 3 you wouldn't have to sit out a year.

If coach Pressler is to be held responsible for the actions of the lacrosse players, as some say because he recruited them, then the athletic director must also be held responsible and should resign since he hired coach Pressler, and Richard Broadhead, the Duke University President should also be held responsible and should resign as well or be fired!!!

I might be wrong, but I believe that only applies for certain sports like 1-A football and basketball (and maybe hockey).

here's a link to the 2005-06 NCAA transfer guide: http://www.ncaa.org/library/general/tra ... _guide.pdf

relevant provisions start on page 17 of the pdf file. there are lots of exceptions to the "sit out one year rule." one of the exceptions is if your school cancels your program.

I can confirm what has been reported above. When my alma mater, Pacific, dropped it's D-I football program all the players were allowed to instantly transfer and play the next season wherever they wound up. One of the best UOP players was Defensive Back Nigel Burton, who transferred up here to Washington and was a starring player the next two seasons. Of course that was back in the dark ages when UW actually WON some football games...

[TheBearcatHimself]

Does anyone know if the players are allowed to leave the team and go somewhere else to play?

Who would want any of the players on their team at this point????

Ummm....I will take any one of them on my team. Not only are they some of the best lacrosse players in the country...wait that's just it, they are some of the best lacrosse players in the country. You look at Danowski or Zash, or O' Hara and say you wouldn't want them? Yeah, my point exactly.

This is lacrosse, we are talking about lacrosse players. He is giving you an exact example of what you are talking about.

Sorry, still never heard of those players. It doesn't matter how good the example is if it doesn't make sense!

So if you haven't heard of major D1 lacrosse players transfering to other schools, it doesn't make sense?
