College Football/Transfer

Question
What are the rules about transferring from an NAIA school to an NCAA school after your freshman year.

Answer
Jack, hello!

I have attached the websites for your review.  You need the official opinion from the NCAA.  I believe it will be that you can transfer up to a higher division but must sit out one year.  You can transfer down to a lesser division without the penalty.  I would think that rule applies to the NAIA schools, as well.

Take care and God Bless the USA,
