Alabama Crimson Tide sports teams can now accept new transfers without the player having to sit out a season. At least that will be the case when the SEC joins other Power Five conferences and removes its automatic ‘sit-out’ requirement for transferring from one SEC school to another.
The NCAA has not ‘officially’ passed the new rule as of Wednesday, but that is a formality to be resolved soon. What the new rule will and will not allow is unclear to some fans.
There had been some expectation the new rule would be a ‘one-time’ thing driven by COVID circumstances.
