In case you happened to have missed it yesterday, former Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire announced his intentions to transfer away from Notre Dame to play his final season of football somewhere else.
All the way back in 2006, the NCAA decided to implement the grad transfer rule, which allows players who have completed their bachelor’s degree to transfer somewhere else to start work on a master’s so long as they have eligibility left and meet some other criteria. Even though the rule was implemented, it wasn’t really until Russell Wilson transferred to Wisconsin, where he absolutely dominated, that people started to take notice of it.
