NCAA to approve new rules allowing athletes to transfer multiple times and still be immediately eligible​

The NCAA’s Division I Council unanimously approved new transfer rules Wednesday that will allow all undergraduate athletes to transfer schools and play immediately regardless of how many times they've transferred schools in the past.

NCAA officially ratifies new rules allowing athletes to transfer multiple times and still be immediately eligible

As long as they are academically eligible, the NCAA will no longer limit how many times athletes can transfer schools without penalty.

Well, that pretty much does it
RIP College Football…

Coaching staffs are gonna get even better at sucking it. Not only gotta get new recruits but you also gotta tend to everybody you already got every single freaking year. #GetYourKneePadsReady

Absolute disaster, as far as college sports is concerned.

This was already the de facto rule courtesy of the recent federal ruling in West Virginia. A new division for big time football will be created and schools will pay players from media revenue, probably indirectly via a third entity such as the conference, of which all players are technically sub-contractors. Those contacts will allow collective bargaining, which will allow limits on transfer rules. Until that happens all college sports are just the 1980s SWC on steroids.

TCU football will be incapable of competing with the best programs until those rules are put in place. I don't think anyone really wants what we have now. Something big will happen, it's just a matter of when, and if it creates sufficient conditions for some semblance of parity to be maintained. I think the answers there are: within two years, and I have no idea but I'm not optimistic.

The NCAA sucks ! They swallow a camel and strain at an ant!

There should then be a guaranteed term of service for the athlete. Say 2 years before you can transfer. Otherwise it’s just a continuous free for all

Can't wait for week 4 this fall...

My flip to PBR is almost complete.

Wait, is that Professional Bull Riding or Pabst Blue Ribbon?

If I haven't made my third installment payment, can I get everything back?

No, but you need to start contributing more.

 

[06DallasFrog]

No, but you need to start contributing more.

I'd sell my liver but it'd cost more to get it out than it's worth. I can't believe I'm considering walking from a generational parking spot.

Some of us are well aged and some of us don't age well.

The coaches that retired with generational wealth over the last ten years got out just in time. I’d rather be the equipment guy in the pros than fight the college nonsense every day.

Roster strength or weakness means nothing. It means nothing now.

Maybe they'll allow midseason moves and players on teams that don't make a bowl game can transfer to a team in the playoffs.

Part of the media coverage will become reporting roster changes each team made at halftime.
