Isn't that why Billy Lowe went to 1-AA, so he could play this year? I know that if he goes to a I-A school he can not play till 2009. I am just trying to figure out the transfer rules.

Because he played football this semester, and no matter what you have to sit out 2 academic semesters, he could not play until 2009 in 1-AA either. If he had decided this in July or early August, then he could, but it's too late now as he played the opener. Lowe is eligible (ran 2 times for 13 yards in the Georgia Southern opener) because he didn't play a down for us last year.

I think that is incorrect. If you transfer to 1-AA, you do not have to sit out a year. That is how the 1-AA schools get all the 1-A transfers. I believe he definitely can play 1-AA next year.
