In a recent article, Andrew Slater of 247 Sports broke the news that a huge change may be coming to Division I College Basketball transfer rules. And change is definitely needed. College basketball transfer guidelines are notoriously difficult to follow. Slater reports that a working group tasked with defining the new rules have come up with two simple options.

In the first existing rule, all Division I basketball transfers must sit out a year before becoming eligible to compete for their new schools. After sitting a year, the player becomes eligible, no strings attached.
