Source: NCAA weighs change to transfer eligibility
The NCAA could adopt emergency legislation this month for a new transfer rule that would allow all undergraduate athletes to transfer and play immediately if they meet specific academic requirements, a source confirmed to ESPN.
NCAA could adopt a rule that allows undergraduates to transfer without limit if they meet academic requirements. The proposed legislation would not limit the number of times an athlete can transfer.
“In December, the NCAA proposed this policy in reaction to a West Virginia judge’s ruling that intended to stop the organization from enforcing its bylaw barring athletes from transferring multiple times and playing right away. The NCAA agreed to terms on a preliminary injunction that runs through at least the end of the academic year.”
