Changing the transfer rules

The NCAA is again talking about changing transfer rules for football, basketball and baseball.

The proposal would allow athletes to transfer and be immediately eligible once in their college careers.

This is already true for all sports except football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and men’s ice hockey.

It would get rid of grad transfers and "hardship" transfers waivers.

I'm not sure this is a good idea or a bad idea. But transfer rules have been a mess for years.

The big questions:
1. Would mid-majors become farm teams for Power Five schools?
2. Would Power Five bench players be likely to transfer to mid-majors?
3. Would coaches try to poach players? (Certainly some would.Would that be bad? Could it be controlled?

Here's the NCAA release. This is a long way from becoming official.
