DI Council gives green light on one-time transfer rule, NIL framework, which will head to January vote

The NCAA’s Division I Council on Wednesday moved sweeping changes on a number of issues within one step of being formally part of the college athletics landscape.

The DI Council approved several legislative proposals including a one-time free transfer model for all college athletes, a framework for name, image and likeness policy, football bowl eligibility for all Division I teams this year and an extra year of eligibility for winter sport athletes.

The bowl eligibility and winter sports eligibility extensions have been approved by the Council, while the one-time transfer rule and NIL framework will be introduced in January at the NCAA’s annual convention.
