Are schollies guaranteed or are they year to year? If a player/s decides to leave is he penalized and would he have to sit out a year or can they just hop on any team with an open scholarship and play?
Ex. Taylor King leaves Duke and by some miracle he lands at LMU, does he have to sit or can he play right away.

1) no way is he comin to lmu and 2) he would have to sit out a year given that we have a schollie open for him unless he decided to walk on...  |

Even with a schollie open I think he would still have to sit out a year? I thin that is the case or the "penalry" for leaving.  |

I just used him as an example, but is there different criteria for certain situations. Since, Coach Tention was fired can anyone from the team just leave and not have to sit out a year. I understand that if you just bolt you will have to sit from the time you left, similar to Decensae White going to SCU. He can play in DEC. cause thats when he left Texas Tech.

Correct me if I am wrong knowledgeable people but I am sure that you have to sit out a year if you transfer EVEN if the coach quits or is fired or if the student is shoved out (like the many bodybags from Pepperdine), it's a general rule for any type of transferring now. I think the reasoning is that if a coach leaves then you can't have the entire team just bail out too (or get shoved out) leaving the incoming coach and school holding the bag. The the student or school could lobby the NCAA for special cases usually family issues, injury or something beyond the norm to bypass the sitting out penalty.
Doesn't apply to those that signed though. They can get released and just join another school w/ no penalty.
