"NCAA Implements Immediate Eligibility for Unlimited Transfers"
The NCAA Division I Council has approved emergency legislation allowing undergraduate athletes to transfer and play immediately if they meet specific academic requirements, with the rule expected to be formally approved by the NCAA's executive board. The new rule will not limit the number of transfers but prohibits midyear transfers to play for a second school in the same season. Concerns have been raised about the long-term implications for graduation rates, and the NCAA is also moving forward on legislation to allow schools to facilitate NIL opportunities for their athletes.
