Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2692044, member: 7492"] I was reviewing a couple of postings on the transfer rule yesterday-Raoul and on AL.com which were not clear when the rule change would be effective. AL.com noted something about August 1, 2019 effective date which is applicable for an Atlantic 10 proposal that all graduate transfers scholarships would have to apply for 2 years, unless the degree was earned prior to the start of the 2nd year's fall semester. In effect, any grad transfer scholarships would be for 2 years, not 1 even though the player may only be eligible for 1 year (unless they earned the graduate degree in 1 year). However no mention of the general rule of undergrad transfers might be implemented. I must say knowing how legislation works in the NCAA, I could see the general transfer rules passing but NOT being implemented this year to allow schools to assess their policy and procedures on how to communicate to all the coaches/programs within their Athletic Departments and how to set up an infrastructure to improve communications with existing and prospective transfer athletes. In effect, the schools and the NCAA may want to assess if the "flood gates" would be opened and how to handle the potential deluge of activity... [/QUOTE]
