However, athletes would not be permitted to follow the departing coach to their new program. The proposal, which originated from the Big 12, would also allow athletes to transfer without sitting out a season (as currently mandated by NCAA rules) in the event a postseason ban is handed down by the NCAA as punishment to their program. The traditional academic "year in residence" for transfers in all other situations would still be in place and extended to every sport. Presently, that is only a requirement in five NCAA sports. The proposal authored by the faculty athletic representatives at [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/BAYLOR/baylor-bears']Baylor[/URL] and [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/IOWAST/iowa-state-cyclones']Iowa State[/URL] has received early support. Skeptics note it is merely a proposal, not the proposal. Still, the document shared with CBS Sports seems to be the most detailed offering to date as a means of fixing the NCAA's long-criticized transfer policies. "Basically, we're saying kids can go anywhere they want," Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard said. "For the first time ever in college athletics, the student-athlete is empowered." Changing the NCAA's entrenched transfer rules has become one of the most significant undertakings in the association's history. Coaches have long been able to "block" where a transfer goes. Athletes also have to seek release from their scholarships to immediately get aid at another school. Frequently, they have to get "permission" from the school/coach to move on to their desired school. Those practices would end if the aforementioned proposal is adopted.[/I] [/QUOTE]
