Moos says NCAA's easing of transfer restrictions ‘just a start of broader reform’

Bill Moos regards the NCAA’s rule change that eases restrictions on athlete transfers as being a starting point of sorts.

“To tell you the truth, I think it’s just the very beginning of a broader reform,” the first-year Nebraska athletic director said Wednesday.

Moos said the new rule makes sense from a student-athlete’s standpoint “because there were schools that were all over the place in regards to allowing athletes to have a chance to explore another option.”

Effective October 15, college athletes no longer will need permission from their coach or school to transfer and receive financial aid from another school.
