Jason Thompson gone

You don't get a free pass to transfer without sitting out if your coach was fired. Thompson will have to sit out another year as would any other UW transfer to another FBS school.
 
Haven't seen any talk about this, but what are the chances Bohl brings one of his NDSU QB's with him? The QB wouldn't have to sit out a year and would be familiar with Bohl and his system. Haven't looked at their roster, but definitely a possibility.

He would have to sit out. Only way around sitting out is transfer from FBS to FCS or have already graduated from school.
 
Unless the rules on the transfer issue have changed since Joe Glen, the University has to release the players... Guys stuck around for the most part though because Glen actually instilled a sense of pride to part of the Wyoming Cowboys Football program.

Of course they can be released from their scholarship, doesn't mean they can play immediately. If they transfer to another FBS school, they must sit for a year.

I believe the way the NCAA rules are written it states that if the AD releases you, you can transfer and play as long as it is outside of your conference. In this case it is so Thompson will be eligible to play next year.

They might have to release them. (I don't know but ussually anyone gets released anyhow, except if a few cases) However, they still have to sit out a year.

I don't think that is the case. Take basketball for example....both Washington (USC) and Hankerson (Bama) had to sit out after transferring from a different conference. I don't think the rule is any different for football.

However, if a player graduates and has eligibility left, he can transfer and play right away.
 
wow. What a difference a month can make for our football program. First off, I trust our new head coach. He will figure something out. Second, good riddance jason Thompson. Go with Dave. Third, dave Christensen has taken a giant dump on University of Wyoming football of epic proportions. He has done more damage than good and I hope to hell he completely fails in Utah. Lastly, jason Thompson isnt going to have a cakewalk job like he thought he had it in Wyoming. There are some damn good quarterbacks at Utah and he's not going to be able to have Dave just give it to him.
 
Her eis a portion of the NCAA guidelines for transferring. Check out point number four this is why I think players will be able to transfer and play simply because Burman is going to release them.
exceptions for divisions I and II if you are in a four-year school
If this is your first transfer…
If you have never transferred before from a four-year school, you might be able to use the one-time transfer exception to play
right away at a Division I or II school.
To use this exception, you must:
1. Be playing a sport other than baseball in Division I, basketball in Division I, men's ice hockey in Division I or football in Division
I. Note: In football you may be eligible to use this exception if:
a. You transfer from a Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) school to a Football Championship Subdivision
(formerly Division I-AA) school and have at least two seasons of competition remaining; or
b. You transfer from a Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) school that offers athletics scholarships to a
Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) that does not offer athletics scholarships.
Important Note: If you do not qualify for this exception due to any of the conditions in Subsection 1 above, you may
be able to use the exception if you were not recruited by your first four-year school AND have never received an athletics
scholarship.
2. Be in good academic standing and making progress toward your degree;
3. Have been considered academically eligible if you had stayed in your first school; and
4. Have a written release agreement from your first school saying that it does not object to your receiving an exception to
the transfer residence requirement. If the release is denied, you may be entitled to a hearing conducted by an institutional
entity or committee outside of the athletics department (e.g., the office of student affairs; office of the dean of students; or
a committee composed of the faculty athletics representative, student-athletes and nonathletics faculty/staff members).
Further, in Division I, if your request for a written release is not provided within seven business days of the previous institution
receiving the request, the release shall be granted by default and the previous institution shall provide a written release to
you.
 
Boy, with the apparent steady decline of the Bball team and the football team never really being on track since the 90s, and well, just drink up.

I'm really thinking HCs are not the problem. Good luck, Bohl, you are going to need it.

But did you see number 1. you have to meet all 4 criteria to play right away and Jason doesn't pass the first one cuz he plays football.
 
Here is another resource that will help clear things up. The general concencus is that you cannot transfer without penalty even if your coach gets fired UNLESS you meet one of the exceptions and are granted permission to transfer.

Hard to work up a head of steam about a kid wanting to go elsewhere.

Every adult involved in the industry can shift around at will, doing whatever they think is best for themselves. But god forbid we let the student-athlete do that...might interfere with the old guys making their coin, I suppose.

Anyway...the young man thinks the grass is greener for him at another school. Godspeed, I say...and let's focus on what we have to do to have our best chance for success next year.

No Arguments here, I think the general opinion here is we feel decimated at the QB position. With Brett leaving and now Jason we are left with a huge void that needs to be filled. Couple that with the change in scheme and realize how it does not fit our current personal and you can summarize that we are in a tough spot. Most here are worried about the quality of team we will field next year against national powerhouses like Oregon and Mich St. Given some time to recruit I am sure Coach Bohl will fill his needs but that isn't going to happen this year. Hell, we don't even have a fullback on the roster yet that position is critical to a west coast/Pro offense. I wish Jason the best, he would be crazy to pass up the opportunity to play at the BCS level.
