with certainty, no.

NONE of the Big 3 does a block transfer for any degree, from any type of school.

I am NOT sure that is true.

Excelsior College does accept block degrees from Fayetteville Technical Community College 
The articulation agreement between Excelsior College and Fayetteville Technical Community College offers FTCC students an appropriate Excelsior baccalaureate degree, all lower level course work to the maximum allowed (approximately 105 credits) including work completed toward a FTCC associate degree and/or recognized by FTCC for work completed by its graduates at other institutions and accepted by FTCC.

I think Excelsior College allows 90 SH only to community college partners.  Excelsior College allows FTCC 105 SH and allows block degrees from the military students.  FTCC has this with over 12 colleges including Excelsior College.  FTCC has neat programs for Army intelligence and Army Special Forces degree block degrees to Excelsior College.

An Articulation Agreement is not a block transfer.  It's where two schools have worked out a deal where you take specific courses at the CC and they transfer to the 4yr school.  So the 4yr school has already worked out which courses will work and which won't.

A block transfer is when no articulation agreement is in play, and a school says "we will take ANY AA/AS as meeting our GE requirements."  Some schools definitely do this.

WGU does this for many degrees, although it's not always a great deal - you need 60cr to get an AA/AS, but it only satisfies about 30cr of WGU's degree since their GE's are only about 30% of the degree.

Your link doesn't actually show the articulation agreement.  But, even if they take 105cr, you still need 30cr of UL at EC, so you'd be over on the number of credits you get.

Every college has its own rules.  There are few absolute rules in higher ed?  

ASU said they would take AS block degrees (not by YOUR definition) for only LL credits, but not the many UL "GenEd" that they required some years ago for their HSEM BS degrees.  One of two reasons I did not go with them.
Non-Traditional Undergraduate College Credits (634 SH): *FTCC Noncourse Credits (156 SH) *DSST (78 SH) *CPL (64 SH) *JST Military/ACE (48 SH) *CBA (44 SH) *CLEP (42 SH) *FEMA IS (40 SH) *FEMA EM (38 SH) *ECE/UExcel (30 SH) *PLA Portfolio (28 SH) *EMI/ACE (19 SH) *TEEX/ACE (16 SH) *CWE (11 SH) *NFA/ACE (10 SH) *Kaplan/ACE (3 SH) *CPC (2 SH) *AICP/ACE (2 SH) *Sophia/ACE (2 SH) and *FRTI-UM/ACE (1 SH).
Non-Traditional Graduate College Credits (14 SH): AMU (6 SH); NFHS (5 SH); and JSU (3 SH).
