Will the NCAA grant immediate eligibility for transfers from the shut-downs?
Any Big XII, SEC, ACC, and AAC teams that have a slot or two left could likely use some star or near-star players. And the Big 10, PAC-12, and MWC have ones sitting on their hands now, fuming. Many of those players still are trying to impress the NFL scouts.
Due to their programs being shut down suddenly, does/would the NCAA grant immediate transfers/eligibility to players?

I don't see how they could tell them "you can't play at the new school... but the old school isn't playing either, so... tough!" (one of our board lawyers could probably speak to that)

That actually sounds fair. So, No.

RE: Will the NCAA grant immediate eligibility for transfers from the shut-downs?
When the UAB shutdown fiasco happened, the players transferred and did not have to sit out a season. Personally, I don’t see how universities that shutdown for the season can hold back players from playing their sport. Who’s to say they won’t be shutdown for several years more until there is zero or almost zero risk of infection. Regardless of the rules, IMO it would make a university look pretty bad and even petty to try to hold a player back.

Based on all the expert opinions on this board about contracts, GORs, viruses, and whatnot, I just assume pretty much every commenter is both a lawyer and an epidemiologist.

This is one of the more clever posts of the past few weeks. Well done, Wedge.

It won't make much difference without a corresponding waiver of the 85 scholarship limit.

"It won't make much difference without a corresponding waiver of the 85 scholarship limit."
True, but the question was posed on if program(s) do have open spaces.
If the answer is "yes" to my original question, I suspect KU has space for a few. IDK about others who are still planning to play.
Just pondering some more, some of those trying for the NFL might not even need a scholarship and would walk-on instead. What's the limit to the number of walk-ons, in addition to the 85 scholarship players?

SI picks up the developing-story:
https://www.si.com/college/olemiss/footb...ut-penalty
Interest thing in the article -- apparently it is common to keep a few slots open in case good transfer players become available. Also that the NCAA is not yet granting immediate eligibility; I'd suspect players' lawyers, if any, are circling.

What’s to keep USC’s starting offense to all transfer to Arkansas St and Arkansas St in turn dropping the scholarships of their bottom 11 scholarship players?

It would depend on the specifics of the Arkansas State scholarships. Most schollies these days are 1-year renewable, that is, once they are granted, they apply for the full academic year. But that varies sometimes and can be revoked for various reasons (behavior; academics; injuries etc...). And, as others stated above, many schools hold out a handful of scholarships below the 85 limit so as to potentially take advantage of transfers and disgruntled QB's. It would be an individual analysis for each school and each scholarship. If this situation persists (some conferences playing; others not), there will be some test cases soon.
