Change from previous BE policy:
>>The American Athletic Conference has approved its league policy for athletes who seek to transfer from one member school to another, with a significant shift from the Big East's stance.
The league's athletic directors, meeting in Rhode Island last month, approved a policy that allows athletes in all sports to transfer from one member school to another, providing the athlete sits out one season (as already required by the NCAA) and additionally surrenders an additional year of eligibility. The latter part of that, in place with other leagues, is fairly prohibitive -- for example, an athlete who played as a true freshman at Memphis could transfer to SMU, but only after sitting out a year, and then having only two years of remaining eligibility instead of three.
This is a contrast to the existing Big East policy, which did not allow an athlete in football or men's or women's basketball to compete for any other member schools once they'd enrolled at one Big East school. The new measure now treats from athletes from all sports the same, instead of applying stricter rules for higher-profile sports.<<
