NCAA Transfer Rule change?
Looks like there could be a change to the transfer rule:

http://247sports.com/Article/Sources-Maj...-107001121

I think the biggest effect for this will be in football where players often only have a year or two once they get to the top of the depth chart, so if they transfer they look at FCS schools to skip having to sit. Since we have so few transfers, it probably benefits us in the long run, but will be interested to see how it plays out and if it actually comes to fruition.

Is this only for football?

This would be awful for the G5/1-AA, even if it would probably be a net positive for W&M since they don't take as many transfers as other teams in the conference. Basically suicide.

Towson, SBU, UD, and JMU will have to actually recruit players out if HS and depend on them. Welcome to the family.

It's across the board, but at present only football and men's basketball are subject to the restriction.

Wait won't this just allow P5 schools to treat everyone else as minor league programs? Like if Tech needs to fill a position they can just poach someone from JMU/UR/W&M?

They could already do that. If you transfer between levels you don't have to sit. This is just if you transfer within FBS or FCS.

Tech would poach from ODU, who would poach from JMU/UR/W&M. But yes, that's basically what would happen. It would significantly benefit the top of the food chain. A guy like Paxton Lynch would have been gone from Memphis after his first good year. Miss on a kid who was a late bloomer or just ran out of scholarships that period? No problem, just wait until April. Big schools could basically chase all their recruiting misses and recruiting would never actually end.

They can already do that but FCS to FBS, I think, requires the player to sit a year.

Right. So this would be a disaster. We already have basketball players leaving as grad transfers. Could you imagine if they don't have to sit out a year of undergrad? We'd become a feeder program.

I can see why the P5 schools would like it. It can eliminate any of their recruiting mistakes without penalty. It would turn midmajors into the equivalent of juco programs
