DI Council introduces transfer legislation

>>Students in specific situations could transfer and compete immediately if legislation introduced by the Division I Council is adopted. The Council also introduced a measure that would increase accountability for schools that accept some graduate transfers.<<

>>The four proposals would:

• Allow student-athletes who have enrolled in summer school and received athletics financial aid to transfer and play immediately if their head coach departs before the first day of classes for the fall term.

• Allow walk-on student-athletes on teams that provide athletics aid and nonrecruited walk-ons to transfer and play immediately.

• Require schools to count financial aid for postgraduate transfers who receive athletics aid and have one season of eligibility remaining in football, women’s basketball and men’s basketball against team limits for two years, regardless of whether the student-athlete remains enrolled after exhausting athletics eligibility. However, a student who successfully completes all degree requirements before the start of the second year would not count in the second year.

• Prohibit student-athletes in all sports from competing during the championship season for two different schools in the same academic year.<<

Vote possibly in April 2019.

Seems like a solution in search of a problem to me.

The problem would be coaches aren't paid enough. Good lord the leverage this would give them.
