The 2OT: How will the new NCAA transfer and redshirt rules affect Texas Tech?
The NCAA Division I Council made a few changes to the transfer and redshirt rules last week. These serve a significant goal to improve the college experience of student-athletes.
The new transfer rule creates what the NCAA calls a “notification-of-transfer” model. The rule basically states that once a student informs their current school they want to transfer, that school has two business days to enter that student’s name into a national transfer database. Once the student’s name is in the database, coaches from other schools are free to contract that athlete.
