The Division I Council on Wednesday endorsed several recommendations intended to better support student-athletes, improve efficiency and timeliness in the infractions process, and improve clarity in the transfer environment.

Developed through the work of the Transformation Committee, the recommendations will go to the Division I Board of Directors next month for adoption.

If the recommendations are approved by the board, schools would be empowered to support student-athletes in a variety of ways without asking for waivers, including providing any support needed for a student-athlete's personal health, safety and well-being; paying for items to support a student's academic pursuits; purchasing insurance of various types; and funding participation in elite-level training, tryouts and competition.

The Council also endorsed several concepts intended to address challenges in the infractions process, including:

  • Incentivizing parties to secure cooperation from representatives, family members and others with relevant information.
  • Expanding the use of a public dashboard for all infractions.
  • Reserving hearings before the Committee on Infractions for only the most significant behaviors.
Additional enhancements to fair and timely processing of infractions cases will be considered by the Council next month.

Finally, the Council endorsed a concept that would eliminate the blanket rule prohibiting transferring more than once. The concept would also implement transfer portal "entry windows," or periods of time in which student-athletes must provide their school with written notification of transfer to be eligible to compete immediately the following academic year.

Not sure what they mean by "improve the transfer environment".

Agree, it appeared they were recommending making it much more wide open with no limits re number of times you can transfer. The “paperwork” to validate why you want to transfer seems a joke and a rubber stamp process imo.

Part of maturing is making a commitment and sticking to that commitment. The most rewarding things that many of us have experienced in life, are those which were the most challenging. I understand when there are circumstances that necessitate a transfer; IE kid needs to move down to a lower level, HC leaves, family illness, etc, but in most of these cases, a kid just doesn't want to stick it out and thinks the grass will be greener elsewhere. When I was in my early 20s and working for the biggest real estate brokerage company in Manhattan, other companies approached me about leaving. They offered me a much better commission split and a signing bonus. My boss caught wind of this and called me in to his office. I assured him that I had no intention of leaving, even for more money. Anyone who knows me knows that I come from very humble beginnings. Leaving for more money was tempting, but commitment and loyalty is what won out. Within 1 year I was managing the company's west side office, and by the time I was 27 I was running the company and living the dream. There's something about commitment and loyalty which seems to be lost on the younger generation. The idea that "I gotta do what's best for me" is often a very short sighted concept. Anyhow, I'm done ranting now.

Now get off my lawn…
I kid. I kid. I agree with your post, it just is how things are now and it isn’t going back.
Especially when college coaches jump from one school to another right after telling a recruit they are not leaving.
If the adults in the room lack loyalty, then they have unfortunately set the example for the kids to follow.

Agreed Kranmars, although I'm not only talking about college athletes.

PS I also did say that if a coach leaves a kid should be able to leave. I'm waiting with baited breath for a rebuttal from Panther 😄

Every kid is will essentially be on a one year contract. Most programs will have a revolving door of players looking for more playing time and more NIL. I understand it's a multi-faceted issue, but as a fan it's just sad.

Why not go a step further and allow transfers at the end of the mid year semester around Christmas with immediate eligibility.
 
Monte, I kid you not, I have a buddy, who interviews a lot of young college graduates, and if the first question they ask on the interview, is how long are the hours?, or how many weeks vacation do I get?, he immediately moves them down the list.

If they ask, how can I advance myself, or what is the best way to move ahead, they move to the top of the list.

St. John's grads rate out well given this scale.

It's sad for the sport, coaches, and fans. It's terrible. This decision was done without proper rules in place and it's turning into massive chaos

BR I wonder how many colleges give a simple class on "how to approach a job interview"?. Bet not many. One of my issues with college is that they don't teach practical/life skills. Well, at least they didn't. Not sure if that's changed.
 
From now on, people will be rooting for the jerseys and not the people in them because they will be changing at such a rapid pace
I was OK with a one time "free transfer" but the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction IMO
An unlimited free transfer system makes a mockery of the term student-athlete
It'll be really tough to earn a degree if you transfer every year - you're bound to lose some credits in each move
 
I thought both the one time free transfer rule and the extra COVID year rule were good things for the game and the players and did nothing to harm the experience for the long time college basketball fan. This new unlimited transfer rule in conjunction with NIL will ruin the fan experience for many long time college fans.
 
With the drastic changes that will certainly follow, we will soon need to break them up in a “Recruiting” section, a “Transfer In” section, and a “Transfer Out” section.
An under recruited kid, can go from low major, to mid major, to high major. It is essentially like working your way through the minor leagues, without the parent team reaping the benefits.
 
Thanks to the NCAA and the Supreme Court, college kids will be mimicking what the pros have been doing for quite some time.......off to the highest bidder. Loyalty to a school, what's that? Loyalty to an athlete from a school, what's that. Remember the days when no Yankee would ever become a Red Sock etc., those days are long gone. Its all about the almighty buck and the so called amateur (college) player has not been one for quite some time. Why do these kids even need to go to class anymore, we all know that at most D1 schools, that has been a farce for quite some time. Do you really believe the schools (in general) really give a crap about their academic performance and what happens to many of them after their playing days? Do you ever really hear of any athlete losing eligibility due to academics anymore? Do you really believe they are all keeping up with their studies? Do their degrees mean Jack $hit? Mel Davis and I used to have a class together (there, Im dating myself), even back then, ask me how many times he showed up to class. If we are going to be honest about this, are we really surprised what this whole thing has evolved into?

I had a Theology class where Mel Davis showed up Day 1 and never again. When grades were posted, everyone had a grade, no incompletes, etc. But I was OK with it.
