G.O.A.T.
I'm a Northwestern University alum and follow the mens and womens teams.
I noticed that this year the womens teams includes a junior who previously played DIII tennis at Middlebury College. In fact, as a sophomore she was the DIII NCAA champion in singles.
Now she's playing between 2 and 4 in the lineup for Northwestern. I'm thinking she transferred because she had nothing left to achieve in DIII, wanted to take on a new challenge, and she's simply exchanging one high-level academic school for another, and probably getting an athletic scholarship to do it. [DIII often has financial aid/non-athletic scholarship packages that can cover costs, but certainly not always.]
I guess the question is that even with no athletic scholarhips in DIII, transferring to another school presents the same eligibility standards as transferring between DI schools, correct? She played two years at Middlebury, so she has two years of eligibility left at Northwestern. There's nothing different than if she transferred form, say, Duke (DI) to Northwestern (DI)?
