College football's hot-button topic these day in the transfer rule.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh was asked about it on the heels of the Wolverines adding former Ole Miss quarterback Shea Patterson.
Now, the American Football Coaches Association is asking the NCAA to consider allowing players who transfer and sit out a season at a new school to earn back that year of eligibility by graduating.
According to The Associated Press, AFCA Executive Director Todd Berry said Tuesday the association's board of trustees unanimously supports the proposal.
The idea was presented to coaches at spring meetings from the Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12, American Athletic Conference, Mid-American and Mountain West.
