The “transfer epidemic” has been a hot-button topic in college sports circles. And a group of NCAA members have come up with a surprising solution.
Per 247 Sports, a Division I Transfer Working Group comprised of athletic directors, coaches, commissioners and players (19 in total) has worked on creating some uniformity in transfer rules... and decided free transfers might be the way to go.
Within recent weeks, it has become more clear that the latter option of immediate eligibility for transfers who achieve a minimum GPA [ed. note: and that additional transfers require sitting out a full year] is the one gaining traction amongst members.
