SEC grad transfers now have immediate eligibility if they transfer intraconference

Here’s one interesting note from the SEC Spring Meetings in Destin. According to Brett McMurphy, the league’s presidents just voted to allow grad transfers who transfer from one SEC school to another immediate eligibility. Under the previous policy, the SEC required grad transfers to sit out one year if they transferred to another school in the league.

The grad transfer market is already crazy in both basketball and football; this will make it absolutely bonkers. The new rule could directly affect Alabama backup center Brandon Kennedy, who announced he was going to transfer earlier this month to either Tennessee or Auburn, but was denied, prompting this response from Nick Saban.
