NCAA Board Chair Questions Mission Alignment as Court Rulings Impact Transfer Eligibility
Jere Morehead, the chair of the NCAA Division I Board of Directors, opposes the idea of unlimited transfers for college athletes, stating that it is inconsistent with the goal of graduating student-athletes. Morehead believes that the NCAA should eliminate the transfer waiver process altogether and only allow athletes to transfer once, with any subsequent transfers requiring a year of ineligibility. His comments come in response to a recent court ruling that temporarily prevents the NCAA from enforcing its bylaw requiring athletes who transfer more than once to sit out a year. The ruling may have wide-ranging impacts on all sports and could potentially lead to unlimited transfers for an extended period of time.
