The SEC has reportedly voted to eliminate the league’s intraconference transfer rule according to Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated. This signals big news for Auburn Football as two of the biggest transfers this offseason as been from conference foes LSU (TJ Finley) and Vanderbilt (Donovan Kaufman).

The rule originally required players who transferred within the conference to miss an entire season before becoming eligible to play for the new program.
