Coaches can still restrict transfers within their conference. Oklahoma is doing it now to the QB that transferred to TCU.

And the MAC.

To not LOSE A YEAR ELIGIBILIY to play the player has to get a waiver from his old school (I might not be using the terms technically correctly). MAC schools do not grant it.

E.g., a player could transfer from WMU to NIU. WMU can't stop it. However, the player sits out a year and LOSES that year. If he transfers from WMU to Illinois he doesn't lose that year.

If a player transfers from UofM to MSU he sits a year but doesn't lose a year of playing eligibility.
