Report: NCAA Discusses Rule Change to Allow Unlimited Transfers Without Sitting Out

There may be even more transferring in college sports in the near future.

Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic reported Monday that the NCAA's Division I Council will consider proposed legislation that would remove limits for the number of times an athlete can transfer. The legislation, which the council can adopt at its April 17-18 meeting, would also allow athletes to transfer and play immediately if they are academically eligible.

While athletes wouldn't have a limit for the number of times they could transfer, they could not transfer during an ongoing season and play for a second school during that same campaign.
