New transfer rule eliminates permission-to-contact process

>>Beginning in October, Division I student-athletes will have the ability to transfer to a different school and receive a scholarship without asking their current school for permission.

The Division I Council adopted a proposal this week that creates a new “notification-of-transfer” model. This new system allows a student to inform his or her current school of a desire to transfer, then requires that school to enter the student’s name into a national transfer database within two business days. Once the student-athlete’s name is in the database, other coaches are free to contact that individual.<<

Excellent.

Good. Regular students don't have to ask permission, athletes should be no different.

Ah yes, a very reasonable and easy to understand argument.

I'm sure everyone will agree with you.

I didnt read the article, but does this mean kids are free to transfer to schools within their conference as well?

Dang.

Remarkable that it took this long to change something so obvious and problematic.

Here's the money language:

Another financial aid element, autonomy legislation that governs when a school can reduce or cancel aid, may be adjusted next week by the autonomy conferences. Currently, a student’s notification of intent to transfer at the end of a term is not one of the listed reasons a school can use to cancel aid. The autonomy conferences will consider, by an electronic vote, two different proposals to allow schools to cancel the aid.

Am I reading that correctly? The P5 may ended up voting to sanction the transferring student athlete? That would result in a world where the its easy for them to pick up a G5 kind but more risky for their athletes to transfer out.

Perfect.

The money football conferences will still find a way to take control of this .....

There's very robust discussion about this very distinction on the Regular Students forum.

Where some had opinions that were robustly wrong
