Cameron also didn't have to sit a year with that last transfer like he would have to do if he transferred again.

That’s not the kind of answer I’d expect to hear from a guy who is genuinely excited his coach to get a better job, or genuinely excited to remain in Pullman, WA.

Yeah, based on that response, Ward is definitely not coming here

[Moobs]

What if…..

we had fired Seth last year…

then hired Morris last year…

then Ward would have transferred to UNT last year…

 

Oh well, missed opportunities.  But excited to see what Morris can do with one of our QBs on the roster.  I believe we have talent here that he can work with already.  A high profile transfer would be nice, but we’ve already got some transfers in that are ready to learn and grow.

Ward transfers to Pac-12 school

Another local graduate bet on himself and went halfway across the country to do it.

Columbia graduate Cam Ward announced his transfer from the University of Incarnate Word to Washington State University on the night of the FBS national championship game.

Ward, who lit the world on fire with the San Antonio school for two years, followed the only Division I football coach to offer him a scholarship in Eric Morris to a program entrenched in the late Mike Leach’s air-raid offense.

Ward, a quarterback of a Wing-T offense at Columbia, exited the transfer portal at Pullman as a four-star recruit and was named to several prestigious lists.

Ward finished the season with 3,231 passing yards, 21st in the nation, completing 320 of 497 passes for 23 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He led the Cougars to a 3-0 record to start the season, including an upset win against No. 19 Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium. The Cougars finished 7-6 and made a bowl game appearance.

There's still the Family Hardship Waiver where players don't have to sit out a year if they transfer closer to home due to a family illness?

Family Hardship Waivers

Family hardship waivers are some of the most common and most controversial waivers decided by the NCAA. The reason it is so controversial is many student-athletes in football and basketball request these waivers, and whether one is granted or denied can seem inconsistent.

The key thing to remember is that a student-athlete is arguing that the best thing for the athlete and his or her family is to allow the athlete to play immediately and that the athlete needs to transfer to assist with an ill or injured family member. The NCAA measures this in three areas.

• Nature of the injury or illness: The injury or illness should be life-threatening and involve an immediate family member (parent, legal guardian, or sibling). Waivers that are denied typically involve an extended family member (aunt, uncle, grandparent, etc.) unless that family member raised the student-athlete.
• Student-athlete’s responsibilities related to the care of the family member: The more involved the student-athlete is in the day-to-day care for the family member, the more likely the waiver is to be granted.
• Chronology of events: Waivers are more likely to be granted if something changed that prompted the student-athlete’s transfer like a diagnosis, the actual injury, or a worsening condition. Waivers are less likely to be granted if a family member has been ill or injured for a while, and nothing changed that require the student-athlete to transfer.

When requesting the waiver, the school must submit at least three sets of information, much of which will come from the student-athlete or his or her family:

• Documentation from the doctor who diagnosed the family member;
• Documentation from the doctor who is currently treating the family member; and
• A letter from the student-athlete explaining the need for a waiver.

These documentation standards can be hefty. Medical documentation typically includes both a letter from the doctor and medical documents like charts, treatment orders, and prescriptions.

I'm pretty sure that information is dated.  The reason the NCAA gave everyone one free transfer is so that wouldn't have to deal with all these individual waivers anymore.

Sorry, with multiple QBs playing at 3 or 4 schools there should be a way to get a waiver if needed.

The article appears to have been posted 15 hours ago.  Could be misinformed.

Would love to have Ward here.

There is currently no limit on transfers.  A kid can play 4 years at 4 different schools.

Nope.  After the first transfer, you have to sit a year.

College athletes in all sports will continue to be immediately eligible the first time they transfer. . . .

The board opted not to enact a new exception to the transfer rules that would allow student-athletes to transfer multiple times and be immediately eligible if they meet progress-toward-degree requirements at their new school

Even though it's not in the rules they seem to be allowing graduate transfers a second time to transfer with no sit out

[Cr1028]

Why would he give up being a P5 starter to come here? Following your coach from FCS to P5 is one thing but following him back down to G5 is a whole different ballgame.

This rule is a complete sham at this point. JT Daniels is heading to play at Rice this year. That’s his 4th school, and no he’s not going to sit out. USC in 2019, Georgia in 2020 and 2021, WVU in 2022, and Rice in 2023. Tanner Mordecai headed to Wisconsin after using his “sit out free” transfer at SMU. We are seeing it in basketball too. Umoja Gibson playing for DePaul this season after not needing to sit out at OU in 2020-2021 after he left UNT.

Maybe it’s because they are grad transfers but it doesn’t really matter. Tons of guys are entering the transfer portal this year after already having utilized the sit-out-free transfer and they seem to be under the assumption that not having to sit out after a second transfer is a foregone conclusion. The NCAA is just not enforcing it.
