The minimum GPA should a solid B in "real" course work. The affect on LOI is left up in the air.
With this rule in effect Wilson could have played this year at SJU, next year at Conn and year three at Texas.

Year 3 = sit and play at Texas year 4.
seems the 2nd transfer would still require the one year sit out... but how many kids are transferring twice?

I good to hear that the NCAA is open to making changes. That's certainly a breath of fresh air.

How would this impact lesser programs, or any program for that matter?
A mid major has a player who wasn't recruited much who has a great freshman year or plays great in the ncaa tourney. He immediately jumps to a major program.
A coach disciplines a player for some infraction, or benches a kid for poor play. Kid pouts and transfers immediately.
Sju has 2 guards who are impact players but see the chances of a career helping ncaa bid are bleak. Both transfer to top prograns.
Coaches could recruit not from.hs players but from other colleges where you get an experienced player who you know csn play at this level.
When my kid played on the AAU circuit for a CTK affiliated team, it was not unusual for a kid to play against them one week and be on their team the next.

Let the fun begin!!
Given our lack of facilities in contrast to other schools as well as the multitude of possible other ways to spend your money in NYC which leads to a mediocre fan base except when we win big , we will never be a prime destination, recruiting will always be a challenge and requires a staff that works exceptionally hard.
Fortunately we have a staff that understands and values the transfer game. Any loosening of the rules will only help SJU.

I think that, in general, this is a very bad idea. With the rate of transfers increasing each year at an alarming rate even with players having to sit out a season, I can only imagine how many more kids would transfer if they could play at their new school right away. "Free agency" would cause havoc and make recruiting and roster development extremely difficult and challenging. Imagine losing key players during the summer and not having the time/ability to replace them for the next season.
One situation under which I would support a transfer with immediate play would be the case in which a coach leaves a school. While purists say that players should pick a school for other reasons, the reality is that the majority of kids largely base their decision on wanting to play for the coach that recruited and developed a relationship with them.

I agree, Between the players leaving early for the pros and the high rate of transfers already. There will be no continuity of a team. The LOI will be meaningless. I think this sounds good on paper , but, as said, would lead to chaos. Even though Matt is good at the transfer game, for every transfer he will get us, we will have a player leaving SJU and transferring to another school.
like I said, the concerns may be valid but the real question is why should the NCAA be allowed to have any say over an adult student's choices? If they want to treat them as being under contract then they need fair compensation and an actual contract (equitable if not equal).

That, of course, is a real and completely valid issue. The NBA won't draft kids out of HS. Could you imagine if a recording artist was told he could not sign a record deal until he is a sophomore in college and instead sing for his school? Of course it's a ludicrous comparison, but in the current NCAA system rife with competitive imbalances where the rich get richer in all ways, this will only hurt the less competitive programs IMO.
