houtiger Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 April 14, 2021 - INDIANAPOLIS - After months of speculation, the NCAA's Division I Council has finally approved the 'one-time transfer rule', in which student-athletes across all sports will be able to transfer once and be immediately eligible, according the a report from The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach. Auerbach also reports that the vote for the one-time transfer rule was unanimous, and that the rule change is expected to be official following the D1 Council's Thursday meeting. The NCAA introduced the transfer portal back on Oct. 15, 2018 in an effort to "systematically manage the transfer process from start to finish" as well as "add more transparency to the process among schools". Under previous rules, student-athletes participating in baseball, men's and women's basketball, football and men's ice hockey had to sit out a year upon transferring to a new school. They could file a waiver requesting immediate eligibility, but it was not guaranteed to be granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I hope they ratchet up tampering rules and enforcement along side this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 I'm ok with the rule. As a "one time" transfer, players will have to take it seriously and not abuse the privilege. LSU has gotten more players than we have lost, after they have had a chance to show what they can do at the college level. A premier program won't lose their best player, but they may lose a key backup once in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
