It’s transfer season in NCAA basketball, and players and coaches alike are moving to new colleges trying to find a home for their talents.
While coaches can move to a new school immediately, players who choose to transfer find themselves in a one-year gap where they cannot play for their new schools, due to NCAA transfer rules. The only exception to this rule is if a graduate student transfers, then he/she is immediately eligible.
A player shouldn’t be punished for wanting to transfer to a new school.
