  5. George • Currently enrolled at a Division I institution. • First enrolled at the Division I institution fall 2005-06 and went full time each semester he was enrolled. • Took a year off (2006-07) to apprentice at a bike shop.

  6. George • Never competed in any sport for the Division I school. • Wants to try out for your men’s soccer team.

  7. George • Reached out directly to your coach. Your coach notified you and asked what to do. What are the questions and sequential steps?

  8. George • Is George a transfer? • Officially registered and enrolled full time and attended class; • Attended any class while enrolled full time, even on provisional basis; • Enrolled full time in night school of institution and considered matriculated; • Enrolled in branch of institution and had been enrolled at another institution prior to branch school;

  9. George • Attends a branch school and goes to another institution (not the parent institution); • Reported for a regular practice per team’s calendar; OR • Participated in practice or competition even though less than full time? Bylaw 14.5.2

  10. George • Ask the coach if s/he has permission to contact. Why? (Note: Self release is not an option here. Why?) Bylaw 13.1.1.2

  11. George 3. Begin communication with student and/or other institution’s compliance office. • Begin to ascertain eligibility at Division I institution. • Begin to establish what George’s history looks like.

  12. George 4. Look at the General Rule (NCAA Division III Bylaw 14.5.5.1). Starting place: George serves an academic year in residence.

  13. George 5. Look for a 4-4 exception (Bylaws 14.5.5.1.1 – 14.5.5.1.3) to the General Rule. Exception 1 (Bylaw 14.5.5.1.1(a)): Never used a Division III season AND never practiced or competed at a non-Division III institution. Could George use this exception? What needs to be verified?

  14. George Exception 2 (Bylaw 14.5.5.1.1(b)): Left four-year college and would have been academically and athletically eligible had student remained. Could George use this exception? What needs to be verified?

  15. George Exception 3 (Bylaw 14.5.5.1.2): Enrolled at your institution for a specified period of time as an exchange student. Needs to be part of an established educational exchange program recognized by your institution’s academic authorities. Could George use this exception? What needs to be verified?

  16. George Exception 4 (Bylaw 14.5.5.1.3): Two years of nonparticipation. No intercollegiate participation AND no organized amateur competition while enrolled as a full-time student in collegiate institution. Could George use this exception? What needs to be verified?

  17. George • So…may be able to use Exception 1 (not previously used a season) or Exception 4 (two-year nonparticipation). Strong potential his situation will meet a transfer exception.

  18. George • Transfer homework is wrapped up. What’s the next step before George walks into your compliance paperwork session this fall? What about general eligibility requirements? Fall 2007 Fall 2005 Spring 2008 Spring 2006

  22. Floyd • Will be allowed to re-enroll fall 2010 and will be both academically and athletically eligible at that time. • Rather than re-enroll at his original institution, Floyd chooses to transfer to your institution fall 2010. What are the questions and sequential steps?

  23. Floyd • Is Floyd a transfer? • Do you need permission to contact. Why/why not? • Need to establish whether student-athlete is officially withdrawn from original institution. • If withdrawn, no need to seek permission to contact.

  28. Floyd – StoryModification • Division III just passed legislation to allow a disciplinary suspended SA use the two-year nonparticipation exception (Bylaw 14.5.1.3.1/NCAA Division III Proposal No. 2010-2). • So…is he ready to go immediately in fall 2011 using Exception 4 (two-year nonparticipation)?
