NCAA should abolish rule that transfers must sit out

Related Topics: sitting, transfer

There is a clear-cut divide in college sports as to whether the NCAA should continue to enforce its rule of requiring transfer student-athletes to sit out a year before engaging in athletics at the school they transferred to.

On one side, there are the coaches, who want the rule to stay in place because allowing immediate play after transferring would cause chaos in shifting rosters.

On the other side, if the rule were changed, student-athletes would be able to make a transfer decision without worrying about sitting out a year, providing them with more opportunities.
