<p>Does anyone have any experience or information that might be relevant to a redshirt freshman at an NCAA Football Bowl subdivision school who wants to transfer to any Ivy?</p>
<p>what school are you at?</p>
<p>It is my belief that if you are granted release, you are considered a freshman as far as playing sports goes.</p>
<p>No...if you redshirted as a freshman, then you still have four years to play, Ivy or not.</p>
<p>But we don't know why he was redshirted...it is allowed in the Ivies for injury, right? And doesn't that rule only apply while you are at the Ivy? Does it matter if the redshirt was at another school? He wouldn't have to sit if the other school granted the release I think.</p>
<p>Interesting....my daughter is considering a transfer from DI to DI and according the the NCAA, she does not need to sit out unless her current school won't release her. We know another girl in her sport who just tranferred from UCLA to UF and also was not required to sit out as UCLA signed her release.</p>
<p>Is the medical rule new? A classmate of my son's played basketball for Brown and redshirted a year due to injury. This news from him sharing it with my son and it was also written on the website.</p>
<p>What if your credit don't qualify you to tranfer into the next year above? i.e....you are in a major not offered at the Ivy, for example or they just don't take the particular credits you have. </p>
<p>Also, I am sure that in revenue sports (is ice hockey a revenue sport at the Ivies?) there is some wiggle room. There always seems to be where athletics are concerned (knowing firsthand the stats of several Ivy athletes).</p>
<p>You should probably read the transfer guide</p>

<p>Lots of variations on the rules regarding transferring and sitting out a year - it really depends upon the sport.</p>
