Infield Infidel said:I really hope they let players transfer back if they want to. There were a few players who were rising seniors and redshirt juniors who weren't really able to transfer, or transferred to lower levels, because there aren't any FBS schools that accept more than 60 credit hours (two years worth). Here's the UAB Transfer Tracker .
That is theoretically possible...and permitted under the current rules if I read them correctly.Infield Infidel said:and grayshirt any players that can start attending classes in spring 2016? Grayshirts would count as 2015 recruits, of which they could theoretically get up to 25.
According to people familiar with the situation, about 25 to 30 UAB football players are still enrolled at the school. The Blazers can apply for an NCAA waiver to sign more than 25 prospects next February. They also might be able to add up to 25 early enrollees and transfers in January; those players would count toward UAB's 2015 scholarship allotment, which it obviously didn't use.

Edit: With one potential caveat. I believe a greyshirt cannot have been enrolled full time at another institution before transferring. They either can be not enrolled or enrolled at less than full time. Each semester they are enrolled full time counts against their 5-year clock.
