Transfer Portal Changes (all sports)

[sportdawg]

College athletes in all sports will continue to be immediately eligible the first time they transfer, provided they notify their schools in writing during designated notification-of-transfer windows (as determined by their sport.)
The board adopted the following notification-of-transfer windows:

• Fall sports: a 45-day window beginning the day after championships selections are made in their sport, or May 1-15.
  • Reasonable accommodations will be made for participants in the Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision championship games.
• Winter sports: a 60-day window beginning the day after championships selections are made in the sport.
• Spring sports: Dec. 1-15, or a 45-day window beginning the day after selections are made in the sport.

The legislation also establishes exceptions to the new windows for student-athletes who experience head coach changes or have athletics aid reduced, canceled or not renewed.
The board also adopted new, more specific standards for immediate eligibility waivers for student-athletes who do not otherwise meet the one-time transfer exception, focusing on student-athlete well-being or circumstances outside the student-athlete's control.
The board opted not to enact a new exception to the transfer rules that would allow student-athletes to transfer multiple times and be immediately eligible if they meet progress-toward-degree requirements at their new school. However, the board remains committed to continuing to study the impact of the new transfer rules in both the short and long term.

It works great until the first time a waiver is not granted. Then the NCAA loses another court case. Oh well takes a long time, football will not be a NCAA sport by then.

I think the four-game redshirt rule needs to be limited to a players true freshman year. This is just too much. I believe in a players right to transfer, but not quit midseason. After you start the season, it should count as a season. Great example of give an inch, take a mile.
