Yes, in the South these were known as "feeder schools" where you could go get into AAA and then transfer to Alabama or wherever and be a member there. UAB here in Birmingham used to be one. And Ole Miss moved their recruitment to later in the fall because so many women would drop out of school when they didn't get the bid they wanted and go somewhere that had not started yet.
I am not saying I agree with all this....I'm just stating what happened. Like TXDG said,with the Internet this has pretty much gone by the wayside...but I can cite a lot of instances that I have personal knowledge of that fit these scenarios. Sad.
