Per Division 1 Big 12 transfer policy, she will lose a season of eligibility and sit this year out. Unless they waive it due to "compelling, extenuating circumstances". Either way, I believe she sits this year without question.

I've heard that Malloy was very upfront with CJL about her future, and CJL was also upfront with Andie about not waiving the "sit out" rule.
Yeah it's pretty ****** to leave your team the last week in July for a fall sport. I hope she at least hinted to CJL that this would be a possibility during spring ball.
She should sit and lose a year. Fairly clear this was school jumping within the conference and that rules are rules.
There was an article in the Ames Trib after media day that gives more comments from CJL on Malloy leaving. Some are similar to those already posted, but there are a few more.

For example:
“She seemed pretty sure,” Johnson-Lynch said Thursday at ISU media day. “She wasn’t wavering. She seemed very sure this was what she needed to do.”
“She certainly had a lot of experience,” Johnson-Lynch said. “She would have been competing for a spot just like anybody else.
Johnson-Lynch mentioned Morgan Kuhrt and Ciara Capezio as possible fill-ins for Malloy while senior returner Victoria Hurtt will again seem a lot of time hitting on the left side.
“The good thing is we have a lot of depth in the left side position,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I was telling people, if we’re going to lose someone, that’s probably the position to lose it in because we’ve got some really nice depth in that position.
“We’ve got some very capable players who can step in.”
Johnson-Lynch said she did attempt to dissuade Malloy - who was not granted a full release from her scholarship by ISU – from leaving, but found little chance to convince her to stay.
“I couldn’t in good conscience just say, ‘OK, that’s it,’” Johnson-Lynch said, “but, when I asked her questions, she seemed very sure. And the reasons for her, I felt were very, very sincere. You can’t argue with that. If a person is really, really unhappy, it’s pretty hard to tell them that’s going to change if you don’t believe that it is.
“If you’re homesick, sometimes you can work through that, but her desire to go to a Baptist school, to have a different kind of education, there’s just not a whole lot we can do about that. I feel that she made the right decision, and it’s hard to say that because you want to keep everyone you can, but if they’re miserable or if they’re unhappy then it’s not going to work out.”

Just learned that Malloy and Baylor are petitioning for a third year of eligibility after she sits out this year - as of now she has two years left to play.
**** Baylor and their green ****in' bear. I already don't like them going back to that 2000 basketball game there in Waco. I suppose they will claim religious persecution or some other crap and NCAA and Big 12 will buy it because, you know, it's a Texas school.
PS: Did I mention I hate Baylor?
PSS: No, really, I do hate Baylor.
Who has to sign that petition? (rhetorical) Just by presenting such a petition shows her intentions were not just about education. No way that gets approved.
At least she'll be sitting out a year. Like I said before, my daughters friend made the in-conference transfer from MU to BU a few years ago. She was granted a release because she Kreklow recruited his niece at her setter position. As a result, she was able to step in and play right away.
A big difference was she did it at the semester, not right before the start of the season. I suspect she'll get her third year, and I'm OK with that as long as she sits out his year.

No way she should get an extra year in this situation. There was no hardship and she left the team during fall camp. If she wanted to play right away she could have dropped to D-II or D-III. Situations like this are the reason the transfer rules are in place.
I would love to see the petition. Barring some kind of family issue that hasn't yet been disclosed, it seems that she would have to throw ISU under the bus, at least in some part, to make any kind of hardship case.
I know this is slightly different, but if the NCAA denied ISU bball player Okoro's request to play immediately for Rutgers, they are not going to allow very clear transfer rules to be bypassed. Rutgers transfer denied hardship waiver by NCAA - College Basketball News | FOX Sports on MSN . The beauty here is that this has nothing to do with CJL now. It's all in the hands of the NCAA and Big XII, so either way we come out of this smelling like a rose, just down a quality player.
Exactly. A rule is a rule. Not surprising that they are trying though; it would always be worth a try. Individually speaking, you'd like to see a talented young player not lose a year -- these years of college athletics are special and go too fast. But, it was her decision. She could have stayed at ISU if she didn't want to lose a year.
This has nothing to do with the NCAA, she is already sitting out this year as a transfer for the NCAA. They are petitioning the Big 12 to reinstate the year she loses because she transferred from one B12 school to another (a conference rule). If they don't, she will be a junior next year in both academic and athletic status vs a junior academically, and red-shirt sophomore athletically.
B12 better not reinstate the year. If the coach of the B12 school doesn't think it should happen, I'd hope the other B12 teams respect that and don't give the year back. They need to remember - one of their players could jump ship a few weeks before the season starts and the shoe could be on the other foot. Go out of conference or down a league if you don't want to lose the year AND sit. She didn't have to go to Baylor.
That's right, and something must have happened after she left Ames. She apparently acknowledged, and accepted, that she would have two years left to play VB.
Well, maybe, but I was raised as a Methodist, and my folks always called us Anglicans who liked to have fun.
Where I come from, wanting a more "Baptist-centered education" means that she didn't like all the drinking here.
Now that I think about the actual beer brands I was drinking back then, I'm not sure I actually like the drinking here either.
