Does anybody know where to find NCAA rules regarding college players transferring? I'm normally good at hunting down rules and regulations, but I'm stuck on this one. Thanks
Check here. There is a one-time exception rule which is interesting.Does anybody know where to find NCAA rules regarding college players transferring? I'm normally good at hunting down rules and regulations, but I'm stuck on this one. Thanks

Need to be careful with web pages - even NCAA ones - that they are current. NCAA year runs Aug 1 thru Jul 31, so some may not be updated. This particular one has links on the right side to last year's Division Manuals and this year's Four-year Transfer Guide - https://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/2017-18_Transfer_Guide_4_Year_20170721.pdfCheck here. There is a one-time exception rule which is interesting.

I had no idea this was possible without losing one year of eligibility.
So what are some of the reasons allowed? Any and all, or does it have to be a catastrophic fall out of sorts?
Not getting along with the coaching staff, not getting any playing time, level of play was too high or low for the player?
What I don't understand is this, with these transfers allowed, if a player turns out to be a phenomenal player, what stops one school from offering a full ride scholarship to the player enticing her to leave her current school where she's getting a 25% scholarship?
Without losing one year of eligibility, isn't this a thought that weighs on some college coaches minds?
The one-time exception doesn't require a reason, however the school they're transferring from may want one when the player asks for permission so other schools can talk to them. The reason given may later affect whether that school signs off on the one-time exception. IOW, the school has to separately agree for the other school to talk to the player and later to allow the one-time exception. When Aldrete transferred from Tenn, she said she wanted to play closer to home in NorCal. I can't remember which, but Tenn either only allowed her to talk to NorCal schools or said they'd only agree to the one-time exception if it was a NorCal school.I had no idea this was possible without losing one year of eligibility.

Not true - a waiver of the 5-year rule requires they missed more than 1 season for reasons beyond their control and regular redshirt is considered within:And technically there are 6 years to complete 4 years of eligibility if using a medical redshirt along with a redshirt.
