Proposal to let athletes transfer instantly after a coaching change picks up steam
https://www.cbssports.com/college-footba...-up-steam/
Interesting proposal coming out of the Big 12.
Athletes would be allowed to transfer schools without restriction if their coach were fired or left for another job. Athletes would also be allowed to transfer without sitting out a season if a postseason ban is imposed on their current school by the NCAA. Finally, Coaches would no longer be able to block players from going to particular schools by preventing them from getting aid immediately at their new school. Apparently, the NCAA board of directors has mandated that transfer rules be changed in the next year, so these proposals will be considered.
In general, this is friendly to athletes. It's not clear to me how much this will help or hurt particular schools or groups of schools. The third proposed, change, preventing coaches from blocking where transfers go, may have the broadest effect, as quality athletes unhappy with their situations will have more freedom to go where they want.
