Can a player transfer from one Div1A school to another and use his transfer year as a redshirt year? Meaning the transfer year doesn't take a year of eligibility away?

You get 5 years to play 4. If you transfer and have to sit out a year, you can use that transfer year as the redshirt and still have 4 years overall.
If you don't have a redshirt year, it does indeed take a year away.
Freshman gets to campus and gets redshirted - 1 year
RS Freshman gets no PT and transfers - 2 years
RS Soph sits out a year at new school - 3 years
RS Junior can play at new school - 4 years
RS Senior can play at new school - 5 years
or
Freshman doesn't take a RS, decides to transfer at the end of that year - 1 year
Soph transfers, sits out, and RS - 2 years
RS Soph can play at new school - 3 years
RS Junior can play at new school - 4 years
RS Senior can play at new school - 5 years

If you want it straight from the horse's mouth (or ass, as we're talking about the NCAA), just call the NCAA offices and ask to talk to the Student Admissions office. I've called them a couple times in the past and they're actually quite helpful.
Just don't call or email the infractions offices, LOL

Interesting article....
St. Joe's won't release me to play at UAB and I don't know why
Todd O'Brien saw limited action at St. Joe's last season, but unless his wins an appeal from the NCAA his college basketball career will be over.
When you're seven-feet tall, you expect people to ask: "Do you play basketball?" While I still get this question all the time, I'm not sure what to tell them these days. I have a basketball scholarship this season at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. I practice with the team, work out with the team, and dress with the team. But then the games start and I am pinned to the bench, ineligible to play. It's not about grades or discipline or injury. It's more simple -- and more complicated -- than that. My former school, Saint Joseph's in Philadelphia, won't sign a simple form releasing me.
Here's my story:
My name is Todd O'Brien. I'm 22 years old. In 2007, I became the first person from Garden Spot High (located in Lancaster County in New Holland, Pa.) to earn a Division I basketball scholarship. I attended Bucknell University from 2007 to 2008, where I made the Patriot League All-Rookie team. After the season, I decided the school and its basketball program weren't the right fit for me. I wanted to follow the footsteps of my uncle Bruce Frank, a former Penn player, and play in the Big 5. I transferred and was given a full scholarship to play basketball at St. Joe's for coach Phil Martelli. After sitting out in 2008-2009, I earned the starting center spot for the 2009-2010 season. Though our team struggled, I was able to start 28 games and led the team in rebounding. I also was the recipient of the team's Academic Achievement award for my work in the classroom.
Entering the next season, I had aspirations of keeping my starting role, increasing my productivity on the court, and most importantly -- winning more games. Off the court my goal was to continue getting good grades and to position myself to earn my degree studying Economics.

Former St. Joe's center Todd O'Brien denied NCAA waiver
Todd O'Brien's senior season has apparently ended before it could get started.
SI.com has learned that last Friday the NCAA denied O'Brien's latest appeal for a waiver that would have allowed him to play in games for the Blazers immediately. O'Brien's appeal became necessary because his former school, Saint Joseph's, declined to grant him his release after O'Brien transferred to UAB over the summer.
Saint Joseph's and its coach, Phil Martelli, have declined to comment on their reasons for refusing to grant O'Brien his release. O'Brien claims that Martelli made the decision because the coach is angry at him for electing to transfer.
The NCAA denied O'Brien's first appeal last fall, citing deference to the institution's decision. O'Brien re-submitted his appeal early last week so he could introduce into evidence his first semester grades and completed internship in his graduate course of study. O'Brien hoped that the latest information would prove to the NCAA that he had transferred to UAB primarily for academic reasons, which Saint Joseph's has disputed, but the NCAA determined there was not enough new evidence to overturn its original decision.
"Honestly, I wasn't surprised," O'Brien told SI.com. "I was hoping the NCAA would step in and do the right thing. I don't really see how anyone has anything to lose if I played."

Good lord. Let the kid play. Will this even be relevant if say, he's reinstated and the Blazers march their way to a 6 seed in the NIT? I mean, it's UAB we're talking about here. Not exactly a world beater.

petty and spiteful...
God, I hate stories like this. What has this kid done to deserve this? When you consider the kinds of misconduct that student athletes regularly make the news for, and all this guy did was transfer schools...? It's lucky for a lot of the bozos in this world that I don't possess the power to rain fire & brimstone down on someone's head at will--a certain coach and some NCAA committee members would find their hair on fire. This is so unjust.
