Only those in their last year of eligibility get to play immediately in the event of transferring away from sanctions.
On the recommendation of the Committee on Infractions, for a student-athlete who transfers to a member institution to continue the student-athlete’s opportunity for full participation in a sport because the student-athlete’s original institution was placed on probation by the NCAA with sanctions that would preclude the institution’s team in that sport from participating in postseason competition during all of the remaining seasons of the student-athlete’s eligibility.
Their could be an exception for Patterson, but probably not.
If Patterson transfers, he’ll probably have to sit out next season. That’s the standard NCAA rule. There might be some mechanism available to Patterson and other Rebels to play immediately, given the school’s current situation. But the official rulebook exception doesn’t cover Patterson because he’s got two years left of college eligibility, while Ole Miss’ postseason ban only covers one of those .
Another Rebel, sophomore safety Deontay Anderson, is suing the program and alleging he was misled during his recruitment. He wants to be eligible immediately elsewhere and is reportedly petitioning the NCAA for immediate eligibility. It’s not clear how that petition will unfold, but non-graduate transfers almost always have to sit a season.
