OK, question - I thought someone said the SoCon is one of the only conferences that doesn't allow undergraduate intra-conference transfers.

1) Is that true? I don't know.

2) If so, per Astro and others, even if intra-conference you CAN take grad transfers?? Per Astro "Furman has offered a VMI graduate DL/NG; having another 6-3 300-run stopper would be awesome."

3) Do other conferences allow undergraduate intra-conference transfers?

Thanks for the answers !!!
They allow it but, if still an undergrad, the player has to sit out a year. That's been my interpretation of their rule.

Thanks MNORM !! ... so essentially - in this day and age of "I want my PT" and instant gratification... it ain't happening. It might as well say "go to another conference".

Do other conferences make you sit out that year also?

Some may be moving for PT.

A lot of the Furman guys are converting four years of eligibility into two degrees.

*5 years / seasons of eligibility for Student Athletes who may or may not have been affected by Covid, i.e those enrolled during the 2020-2021 Academic/Athletics calendar.

Right. It's still four seasons not governed by an exception (COVID eligibility, medical redshirt, etc.)
