NCAA Outlines Transfer Waiver Guidelines - Coach Change Among Denials

Mental well being will be a catch-all for waivers for second transfers. All of the things that will not merit a waiver could arguably fall under the mental health exception. I get it's a second transfer but college kids change majors often while trying to figure their futures but NCAA not really interested in that. Coaching change seems like it should be legit as well.

I don't mind some of it, but the no participation opportunity is odd. So if a coach doesn't want you on the team (recruited over you) you can't transfer out. Yikes.

Yeah, that'd mess with my mental health and well-being.

I'll try to find the tweet, however there may have been some comments at Rick Pitino's intro presser at St John's, referencing that he's gonna bring "his guys in" or something like that, so perhaps the NCAA is sending a message to both players and coaches regarding 2x transfers?

I think you can transfer. Once they get the "free" transfer, the player would have to sit out. It would be a reason the waiver is denied.

Exactly. If you are transferring for a second time, you just have to sit out a year, just like the good 'ol days (for most players).

If a school takes your scholarship, then that's not a transfer. The player is being kicked out.

Are you talking about once you go in portal, you lose your scholarship or just having scholarship pulled?

I'm talking you leave for a second time because your scholarship isn't renewed.

Yeah, that should def be a waiver and allow for immediate transfer.

It's going to be interesting to see how this shakes out over the next year. I'm with those who believe the coaching change should qualify for a waiver, especially when coaches opt to bring in their own players like Pitino is indicating in the clip.

If the new coach offers them the opportunity to stay and they leave, that's one thing as it could be to their benefit to stay (ex. Illinois). But if the new coach is clearly stating that they're cleaning house and current players won't get a chance to prove themselves, why should they be penalized? And when you hear coaches like Pitino and Deion Sanders at Colorado publicly stating this when they are hired, how does the NCAA not see that this should be an exception? It's not like the players don't have proof to back up their claim.
