What if college athletes had the same freedom of movement as their coaches? Or the administrators whose salaries keep rising? Or a math major who wants to be closer to home? Or an English major who decides she’d rather study engineering somewhere else?
The NCAA has always done everything in its power to keep athletes from transferring from school to school, making them sit out a year, taking away eligibility, anything to keep athletes where they started.
And now that all may be changing.
An NCAA working group is apparently considering a proposal that would let athletes transfer at will, as long as they met certain GPA targets and were on course to graduate.
