If a coach does not sign the release do they have to keep the player on scholarship?
that is a great question.

NCAA's one-time transfer exception described in Lenski's post (#4) doesn't care if the transfer is in-conference or not. Most conferences have rules overriding it so in-conference transferees have to sit a year. Getting the previous school's release is critical for the one-time exception (e.g. O'Toole from SDSU to AZ) and even then, it may have conditions on it (e.g. Aldrete from TN).
“When I decided I was going to go to Arizona, I told Kathy,” O’Toole said. “I (asked) her, ‘Are you going to release me?’ She said no.”
Van Wyk blocked O’Toole from playing right away at Arizona, or any other school. As a result, O’Toole moved to Tucson and sat out the 2015 season, a year where a young pitching staff really could have used her help. Her two-year eligibility clock starts in the fall.

Annie Aldrete has left the program to be closer to home (Monterey) after a death to her best friend. Really unfortunate situation and I wish her the best during this time.
Tennessee will apparently allow her to play at Cal, Cal Poly, Fresno, San Jose State without having to sit a year.
The first step in transferring is getting permission to talk to other schools and that doesn't jeopardize their scholarship. Voluntarily quitting the team is grounds for canceling the scholarship. Getting the "release" for the one-time transfer exception usually comes after they've decided on another school, however the coach may let them know ahead of time whether they will grant it and any conditions on it (e.g. Aldrete).If a coach does not sign the release do they have to keep the player on scholarship?
Can anyone confirm the 4 years of eligibility, if a bachelors is obtained in two? College courses in high school make this a possibility, wonder what hoops might be required.
