Saw this in a Baseball America article (linked below). Duffy is transferring from Vermont because they will no longer have a program next year. You'd think the NCAA will allow all the Vermont players to be eligible next year and not have to sit out a year.
Matt Duffy, ss, Vermont
It's been a trying year for Vermont's players, who found out just three weeks before the season began that their 121-year-old program was being cut to remedy athletic department budget shortfalls in a troubled economy. The Catamounts have gone just 13-25 (5-7 in the America East Conference), but Duffy has overcome the distraction and put up a sensational season, leading the AEC in batting (.451), on-base percentage (.547), slugging (.832) and home runs (11). He is red-hot heading into this weekend's series against Hartford—last week he hit .619 with three homers and seven RBIs in six games. Duffy is closing in on Vermont's single-season home run record (14), held by 2006 UVM graduate Kyle Brault. And that's even after missing Vermont's first seven games with a broken hand, suffered when a teammate hit him on the hand during intrasquads this winter. Duffy will continue his baseball career next year at Tennessee.
