Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 3236569, member: 549"] First 5 articles should be “free” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/transfer-portal-rule-changes-lead-to-uncertain-summer-in-college-baseballs-transfer-market/[/URL] >>First, in April, the NCAA’s Division I Council passed a few pieces of legislation aimed at reforming the transfer process. One change allows any player who is not (and has not previously been) on an athletic scholarship can transfer and be immediately eligible. That change has shaken up this summer’s transfer market and have many coaches wondering how they should handle the new policy going forward.<< >>In basketball and football, which are headcount sports with every player on a full scholarship, the rule really just releases true walk-ons to freely transfer once to another school to play immediately. For baseball, however, its effect is much greater. Because baseball teams are capped at 11.7 scholarships to be divided between a maximum of 27 players (with a minimum of a 25 percent scholarship), but their roster is capped at 35 players, there are usually at least eight walk-ons on every roster who receive no money. Further, because so few players are on full athletic scholarships, there are many talented players taking advantage of academic aid or other forms of institutional aid, sometimes to the point where they don’t receive any athletic scholarship money at all. They also qualify to transfer freely under this new rule.<< [/QUOTE]
