The NCAA has adopted a new transfer portal rule for the future. Now, student athletes in more major sports like football and basketball can transfer one and immediately be eligible at their new school.
There are some potential drawbacks of the new rule. There will be more transfers and players may be less patient while they wait to develop. More potential negatives of the rule change include:
Fewer scholarships available to high school recruits. Power programs poaching players from small schools. Rosters turning over quicker than coaches can keep up.
Penn State football coach James Franklin has a well-informed opinion on the topic.
