CHICAGO -- Michigan Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh supports players being able to transfer once without sitting out a year but wants those seeking immediate eligibility to be truthful about their reasons in seeking waivers from the NCAA, especially regarding mental health.
Speaking Friday at Big Ten media days, Harbaugh said he would keep immediate eligibility for graduate transfers, allow undergraduates to transfer once without penalty but require a year of no competition for undergraduates transferring for a second time. Football is among five NCAA Division I sports without a one-time transfer exemption.
"It would be good to just have a clear, concise [policy], where everybody understands what the ramifications are," Harbaugh said.
