Darius White Available!

[Cooley]

Arguably the best athlete to ever come out of Ft. Worth Dunbar has been granted his release. Would be a big time WR for UNT in football, a very good rotation guy for JJ in basketball and an All-Conference track guy. The coaching staff needs to show this former Dunbar Wildcat some love!

If he is granted the release does he still have to sit for a year?

Im pretty sure if you transfer/released between FBS schools you have to sit out unless you have an exception granted by the NCAA

So it really makes no difference whether he is "released" or not?

There is a difference, but not in when they can play. If they are not released they have to pay their own way for a year before they can be put on scholarship.

Does "unconditional release" mean he could transfer within the conference?

Usually if you transfer within the conference you sit out 2 years instead of just 1.
