I seem to recall some NCAA rule requiring Div. I players to sit out a year
following a transfer to another Div. I program, thereby losing a year of
eligibility.
 
First, is this correct?  (Mike, Wayne, rules gurus?)  If so, is there a
provision by which these Flames won't get hosed out of a year of eligibility
should they transfer?  (Sort of a "program folding" exemption.)  I think it
would suck royally for upcoming seniors if they lost out on a low-down trick
of the administration...
 
Sours grapes of the day - Here's hoping the Flames go 0-27 on the hardwood
next year and play before empty stands...
