Transfer from D1 track to another D1 track school

<p>What are the stipulations for transferring schools as a D1 Track and Field athlete? I am planning on transferring schools after my freshman year at a D1 college i am attending to another D1 closer to my home but i want to know if it is smart to transfer at the end of my year here or at a different point in time (as in will schools have any scholarship funding at that point in time)? Along with that i want to know what are the stipulations for transferring such as will i lose a year of eligibility such as in basketball or football and other info. Lastly how should i best word it to the coach here that i am unsatisfied with the school and track program and the way it didn't meet my expectations? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.</p>

<p>The funding part of the question is extremely important to me as i am on a very large scholarship at this point so i need to know about that issue.</p>

<p>I’ll leave this here in case anyone on the Transfer forum can help you, but I’d advise that you also post this thread on the Athletic recruits subforum (under the College Admissions forum), as transferring as an athletic recruit is a very specific situation.</p>
