The NCAA made some announcements on Wednesday about a few rule changes that will affect all DI athletics this fall including for the 2018 college football season. For the most part, they are welcome additions, including eliminating the need to get permission to transfer to a new school, and new rules for football players to claim a red-shirt season.
