It appears the NCAA Division I Council is moving ahead with its plans for a one-time, immediate eligibility transfer rule.
Athlon college football writer Bryan Fisher and The Athletic’s Nicole Auerbach both reported Monday sources indicate the D-I council will vote on a blanket waiver to allow one-time transfers for the upcoming year at their April meeting after basketball’s Final Four.
The blanket waiver would be in place if the full NCAA body has not put the rule into legislation by the start of next season.
That’s what the NCAA had planned to have in place already, but the Department of Justice forced the NCAA to pause that quest back in January as a new presidential administration was inaugurated and put in place.
