Akasha Anderson and Kendal Kemp going in is significant for Auburn. And, sorry Kentucky, but they can't land in the SEC. From my knowledge no other P4 school is losing players that impactful. West Virginia and Arizona have a good number of kids in, but not faces of the program. Is it a new rule that SEC SAs can't transfer within the conference without sitting out a year? I didn't realize this was a thing.

That would certainly be a surprising development for all the WBB athletes who have hopped from one SEC program to another this offseason!
There are no restrictions on transfer destinations.

In football, the SEC implemented a restriction this year that any player entering the portal in the spring portal period could not transfer to another SEC school unless they sat out a year. As written, this only applies to the spring portal period and did not apply to the one immediately after the season. I do not know if this rule applies to volleyball or any other sport besides football.

Would Title IX make the rule implemented by the SEC football membership apply to women’s sports as well?? That’s a huge deal if true…

I do not know if this rule applies to volleyball or any other sport besides football. It applies to all SEC sports. If they enter in the portal window immediately after their "championship season" they can transfer in the conference. So for SEC volleyball this means that those entering in the May portal window can not transfer within the conference. Example: Sofia Victoria (FL) was able to enter the portal after the fall window closed because she is a grad transfer. However, because she entered days after the window closed she can not transfer to a SEC school.

I suspected the rule applied to all sports but had not heard any discussion of the rule in another sport, so I didn't want to state as fact what I didn't know for certain.

I didn't realize this was a thing. "Old" rule. I'm surprised a lawyer hasn't been involved in overturning that. But then, that would assume there's a coach willing to upset the apple cart on that. Players like Rutherford (KY -> TX) took advantage of the unique window for Texas coming going into the SEC.

They just can't do it if they enter during the May portal period.

Unfortunate rule. Another players transfers in during the Spring. SA realizes they aren't going to get to play or coach tells them they won't so they enter the portal in May and then are punished for fall. Doesn't seem right.

Pretty sure the others don't have the rule. I believe this is the first year for the rule. Remember it's only the second year with the current portal windows.

Athletes can still go to a non-SEC school and play immediately in the fall.
