The new transfer rule initiated by the Big Ten Conference proposes that players may transfer from a four-year school once during their college careers without sitting out or penalty. In a Twitter post on Tuesday afternoon former Miami football head coach Mark Richt very clearly came out against the proposal.
The proposed rule has created a polarizing process on the rights of college athletes. No school has been more publicized in the transfer portal than the Miami football program since Manny Diaz took over from Richt late in 2018. Miami added nine players in the transfer portal in 2019 and added three high profile transfers in 2020.
