The NCAA proposes a one-time transfer exemption

Per Pat Forde and Ross Dellenger, the NCAA is proposing a major change to the transfer rules, allowing a one-time exemption from the normal one-year residence rule and letting any transfer play immediately at a new school after the first transfer. If passed, the rule would take effect for the 2021-22 academic year.

I have a couple of thoughts on this. On the one hand, the NCAA’s waiver process has gotten out of control, with such a large percentage of players getting waivers to play immediately that it already has a de facto exemption in place.
