TIP of the WEEK
TIP of the WEEK
This week’s tip deals with transfers who are serving one year in residency at Radford University. Crash Davis, a catcher for the Durham University Bulls baseball team, wants to transfer to Radford University because he has lost playing time to a kid from Bluefield. Davis is anxious to get to Radford so he can catch for a freshman sensation named Ebby Calvin “Nuke” LaLoosh who has some serious stuff but sometimes can’t hit water if he fell out of a boat. He already holds numerous conference records. Davis understands (because he has already been to several schools prior to Durham, the one-time transfer exception does not apply in his case) that he will have to serve one year in residency at Radford University. RU assistant baseball coach Larry Hockett wants to know what activities are permissible for Davis as he does his one year in residency. Compliance Director Annie Savoy quoted William Blake and gave him the chart below.
