CHICAGO — Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh explained his stance on the transfer process more than once during his interview at Big Ten media days in Chicago on Friday.
Harbaugh believes all transfers should be allowed to leave a school with instant eligibility — no matter what — one time. If the player transfers a second time, he believes they should sit out a season.
He made further comments about the matter during a radio interview with ESPNU on Friday, questioning whether or not some student-athletes are using conditions such as mental health as a non-truthful reason to gain instant eligibility after a transfer.
