Quote:Finally, the Council endorsed a concept that would eliminate the blanket rule prohibiting transferring more than once. The concept would also implement transfer portal "entry windows," or periods of time in which student-athletes must provide their school with written notification of transfer to be eligible to compete immediately the following academic year.

For winter and spring sports, students could provide written notification of transfer the day after NCAA championship selections in that sport for 60 calendar days. In fall sports, two separate windows would provide a total of 60 calendar days. The first window would be 45 days beginning the day following championship selection and the second would be from May 1 to May 15. Reasonable accommodations will be made for participants in the Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision championship games.

Additionally, schools that accept four-year transfer students receiving financial aid will be required to provide financial aid to the student-athlete through the completion of the student's five-year period of eligibility or undergraduate graduation, whichever comes first, unless the student transfers again or enters a professional draft. The student would continue to count against roster and financial aid limits unless the student is medically disqualified, exhausts eligibility, transfers or enters a professional draft.

Members expressed some concern about some details related to implementation of the transfer changes; although, most of the Council agreed the concepts will improve the transfer environment.

Transfer portal has already negatively impacted the NCAA sports as far as fan interest and long-term team building. This is just all out free agency.

Hopefully this will settle it down a little.

Loyalty is a weakened attribute today. We are a great deal more self-centered. I guess that is an individually good trait but for our society I am not sure.

The biggest problem I see for the athletes is do there classes transfer as well? Or do you lose a substantial amount of hours with each transfer? Academics Institutions care not about your coursework if it doesn’t meet there standards.

I guess you could always get an honorary degree like LeBron James.

Interesting part to me is at the end where they talk about having to fund the scholarship from a 4-year school player for the rest of that player's time at the school. It could help curb some of the craziness if an institution had to fund that scholarship for the rest of the players time at the school.

GO AGGIES!!!!
