Report: NCAA football instant transfer proposal gaining support

“Basically, we’re saying kids can go anywhere they want,” Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard said. “For the first time ever in college athletics, the student-athlete is empowered.”

A report by CBS Sports Dennis Dodd reveals that a proposal is picking up steam that would allow for transfer seeking athletes to have immediate playing eligibility.

This would be a huge positive for Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson, who transferred from Ole Miss and is now awaiting from an NCAA panel the decision as to whether he will be eligible to play next season or not.
