He will not get 1.5 more years. You cannot play in 5 academic years. If he plays next season it will be his last.

Am glad it isn't just me, am tired of explaining this ad nauseum. If this is trolling effort by y-snow and Nallen I must say they have trolled well.

LOL he's right, you're wrong. It's five years to play four, not five years to play parts of five different seasons.
Here are two examples of players who transferred from ISU at semester - neither one got an additional year full year, only a 1/2.
Jessica Schroll - played 09/10, 10/11, 11/12 - transferred December 2011 after playing 10 games at ISU to Central Michigan University. Started playing as a SENIOR at semester 2012, and is no longer on the team as she exhausted her eligibility. She played 4 full years, over 5 seasons.
Emiah Bingley - played 12/13 at ISU, transferred in December 2012 after playing 7 games at Iowa State, now a SOPHOMORE at Florida State.
Bluford will be senior with 1/2 a year left to play if he transfers to another D-1 program.

Yes we will.
My gift to you, so at least you learn something from our discussion (note says 4 seasons not 8 semesters and all it takes is competing against anyone not on the team to burn a season):
SEASONS OF COMPETITION
Guidelines Regarding a Student-Athlete's Seasons of Competition
The accurate recording of student-athlete participation is critical for several reasons. Unless a waiver is applied for and granted from the NCAA, all student-athletes are limited to four seasons of competitive eligibility in each sport. Once these four seasons are used, a student-athlete is no longer eligible for intercollegiate competition in that sport. Additionally, accurate documentation regarding student-athlete participation is critical in obtaining a medical hardship waiver, should the need arise. A student-athlete utilizes a season of competitive eligibility if, at any time during an academic year, he/she represents the institution in competition against individuals not on the institution's team. This is true regardless of how that competition is classified or when it occurs. Therefore, a student-athlete who participates in any of the following has utilized one of his/her four seasons of competitive eligibility in that sport:A joint practice session;*orA scrimmage (other than intra-squad);*or An alumni game;*or An exhibition. Also, a student-athlete who does any of the following has utilized one of his/her four seasons of competitive eligibility in that sport:Competes in the uniform of the institution;*or Utilizes apparel or equipment with institutional identification;*or Receives expenses associated with competition of any type

I was wrong. I apologize. My bad.
I personally think that a player should be able to play the first semester of a season, and then transfer and sit out 2 semesters, and then play the second semester of the next season and have that only take away 1 playing year and 1 red shirt year. Not 2 playing years and 0 red shirt years. That's just my opinion though.
Again my bad. The whole McKay being a RS/Jr messed me up. But he is only a RS/Jr because he didn't play a minute at Marquette. I get it now. I'm a little slow. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

You have 5 years to play 4. You can't play a year then stop eligibility for a few years then pick back up where you left off.
He just posted on twitter, looks like he is headed to NAU. (Northern Arizona). Glad he found somewhere quickly.

Good for him! Glad he's still a D1 player. I'll try my best to follow him throughout the rest of his career.
I always wondered why Bluford was kept on but Amardi was released from his scholarship. Seemed like Amardi was obviously a better player, though they played different positions, so I guess CFH felt he needed to keep Bluford as a potential McGee replacement.
