"The way a transfer works currently is that a student-athlete must alert his or her school prior to transferring. Then, that school can block the student-athlete from having contact with certain other schools. In terms of college football, that often means conference opponents and any schools on the schedule in the near future. Those days are in the past, or at least they will be very soon. As of Wednesday, the NCAA’s Division I council approved a proposal that will switch the transferring process to a “notification-of-transfer” system.

The NCAA also announced revised redshirt rules, which would allow players to participate in up to four games without losing a year of eligibility."

Hate the redshirt change, no problem at all with the transfer change.

Redshirt change is for football only. Transfer change is all sports

I'm 100% opposed to any transfer rule that will turn the G5 into the farm system for the P5, but this doesn't really seem to do that, so I guess it's okay.

I like the red shirt rule, and in fact I would just go further and say you get 5 years of eligibility.

Re: the transfers, it doesnt change eligibility rules, just that players can make a decision and initiate contact with new schools without having to wait for their coach/athletic department to approve.

I like the redshirt rule. Teams that have been beat up with injuries will have some relief especially late in the year. We were down to 2 running backs between injuries and suspensions late in the year.

Might also offer an incentive to Freshmen to commit to a school even if they know they will be red-shirted. Being able to play in four games gives those kids the hope that they will still see the field in their first year. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing for the schools but's it great for the kids.

I mean, its effectively now 4 years and 4 months of playtime for everyone. That first year of eligibility will now have four months of freshman playing at some point rather than them sitting out all year. Or am I misunderstanding?

Really more like four years and four weeks. They’ll be able to play in any four games and count that as a redshirt year.

one month, not four. They get 4 games. I would like a little clarification on the "injuries and other situations" portion. How about just a straight up "you get to play in 4 games, from 1 to unlimited snaps per game." That will clarify it completely. I am sure that is what they mean but let's not leave any gray area.

Part of me likes the new transfer rule and part of me worries that we are going to see an increase of poaching (coach/booster initiated contact). I think there needs to be some serious penalties for that if it occurs

Yeah, that's what I meant. Obviously four months is an entire season.

They still have to sit a year on a transfer so it’s unlikely you see any increase in anything.

I agree that there won't be much difference but I could see some poaching going on so I would like to see some rules that prevent contact initiated by a school or boosters. If the player wants to transfer, he needs to be the one to initiate the process and not have folks in his ear.

That is already the rule.

They still have to have a reason for the Redshirt, if 4 games have been played. I doubt that a promise of playing time to a Freshman player is one of the qualified reasons.

The redshirt rule is simpler than some of you are making it out to be. A player can participate in up to four games during his redshirt year. Period. There doesn't need to be any reason or extenuating circumstance like injuries forcing him into action. The injury reference in the article is just an example. Also that redshirt year doesn't have to be for freshmen only. A guy could play a whole season as a freshman but only four games as a sophomore and that could be his redshirt year.

Just like that, our leading receiver and one guy who was probably going to be a second or third-string cornerback have apparently gotten releases to transfer, and GS has now picked up a defensive end that got some play time at Syracuse.

Is this going to be transfer silly season?

Love the RS rule so dumb a player has to come in due to injury for a game or two and lose an entire year of eligibility. I believe we lost Brieda for a year due to ONE play in the UF game. Also, why not get everyone in during blowouts if you are lucky enough to be blowing someone out or in a bowl game for some of the P5's if more than a few seniors want to sit it out and get ready for the draft.

As far a transfer should have been this way the whole time. I am good with a kid going anywhere as long as they sit for a year or play immediately if they have graduated.
