To follow up on the second question.

It appears that if TT (or any enrolled Division I player) wants to explore other opportunities he needs to get written permission from the  school he is attending before he can talk to the other school.     In this case he would need to request and get written permission from SU beore talking to SU.    If permission isn't requested before contact is make Seton Hall would be unable to grant him a scholarship during the year that he has to sit out.

The release comes after the player has selected a destination, but I couldn't find anything definitive on the process for requesting and receiving the release and/or what the effect is if the release isn't granted.

The net of the requirement for written permission is that SU knew TT was talking to Seton Hall because he had to ask permission.   The Seton Hall coaches couldn't contact him until permission was granted.    Now that doesn't mean that Syracuse understood that he was definitely a goner at that point, but they had to know he was exploring his options and was unhappy.
