NCAA Transfer Working Group supports 2 transfer rule changes

The NCAA Transfer Working Group maintains "strong support" for proposals to stop schools from restricting where athletes can transfer and to allow athletes who sign National Letters of Intent to transfer and play immediately should their head coach leave, continues to discuss allowing all athletes to transfer and play immediately if they reach a benchmark grade-point average but membership is "deeply divided" on a proposal for graduate transfers in men's basketball.

Members of the NCAA Transfer Working Group, which met earlier this week, have been mulling various changes to transfer rules for the past year.

The proposal to prevent schools from restricting where athletes can transfer will be voted on by the NCAA Division I Council in June.
