Report: NCAA could OK new transfer eligibility rule at next meeting

The NCAA Division I Council could adopt emergency legislation this month for a new transfer rule that would allow all undergraduate athletes to transfer and play immediately if they meet specific academic requirements, according to a report from The Athletic.

The proposed legislation would not limit the number of times an athlete can transfer, according to The Athletic, which first reported the story. Athletes would still have two transfer windows and wouldn't be able to transfer mid-year and play for a second school in the same season.

In December, the NCAA proposed this policy in reaction to a West Virginia judge's ruling that intended to stop the organization from enforcing its bylaw barring athletes from transferring multiple times and playing right way.
