NCAA to continue immediate eligibility for transfers

[Da Coach]

The NCAA's rule requiring an athlete who is transferring for the second or third time to sit out a year was temporarily put on hold by an injunction back in December - https://www.cbssports.com/college-fo...spring-sports/

However, that injunction was temporary and only runs through the spring sports period. There have been questions about what will happen next academic year. But the NCAA just announced today that they are proposing continuing the current status with no penalties for transfers, as long as they are "academically eligible/in good standing at previous school & meet progress-toward-degree requirements at new school". - https://twitter.com/NCAA_PR/status/1780673587860406608

This proposal still needs to be ratified by DI Board Monday.

Or like Dusan Mahorcic, who landed at 6 different colleges in his 6-year college career.

Just my opinion but the most fair thing to do is to give all players the ability to transfer one time without sitting out.

Give them one more possible transfer incase of a coaching change. After that players should be sitting out a year.

I believe that is pretty much what the NCAA wanted. They were allowing a 1st time transfer with no penalty, and requiring a 1-year sit out period for multiple transfers, but issuing waivers for a few specific cases. However, that was what the court issued their injunction for.
