Isn't the fifth year transfer rule only applicable in cases the current school doesn't offer the same major as the would be transfer school?

That's pretty much right, but it's for a master's program. It's kind of a ridiculous rule, because I'm guessing no two schools have the same master's programs. It would be pretty easy to find something your old school didn't offer. Also, with football being a fall sport, I'm guessing plenty of guys (though fifth-year transfers don't seem to be too common) never even bother completing their degrees.

If you're someone like Evan Crower, however, it's probably the only way you'd ever see the field, so maybe it isn't so ridiculous.
