They also may not feel they are a good fit on the team or the school might not be what they expected. No matter the reason, student athletes generally have to sit out a year before being able to play somewhere else and coaches could be able to put restrictions on where the athlete can transfer.

Even if students meet the criteria of these exceptions, the NCAA doesn’t always approve waivers. With athlete transfers – or lack thereof – making news nearly every year, it will be interesting to see if the NCAA changes its rules moving forward.
