SEC approves two rules regarding graduate transfers, serious misconduct policy

Two proposals associated with Georgia were approved by the SEC.

During the final day of the 2018 SEC spring meetings Friday, SEC presidents and chancellors voted to allow graduate transfers to transfer without penalty within the conference and to extend its serious misconduct policy to cover incoming first-year student-athletes arriving from high school.

Previously, graduate transfers who wanted to leave the SEC had to fulfill a year in residency if they wanted to attend another program in the conference. In recent years, graduate transfers have received waivers from either their initial institutions or from the SEC to play immediately at a conference school.
