NCAA Kills 5th Year Transfers

[BGIF]

per AP

The Football Bowl Subdivision did vote to override a piece of legislation passed just a year ago that allowed students who had graduated academically, but still had athletic eligibility left, to transfer without having to sit out a year. The rule applied to the top football division, men's and women's basketball and men's ice hockey. Though only 25 athletes took advantage of it, some schools thought it turned athletes who graduated early into free agents for other schools to recruit.

I am happy about this decision.

If only they would revert back to the old clock rules too.

It piqued your curiosity more than "NCAA negates portable eligibility regulations", didn't it?
