As others noted, AET was able to transfer and play immediately due to the grad transfer rules.  If a student graduates, I agree with the current rule of allowing them to play immediately.

My problem with the proposal for the removal of the 1 year wait period related to underclassmen is that it basically allows the powers in college football to run a kid off that didn't pan out to free up roster space to "poach" the best players from the non-power schools.  For example, one of the top QB's in this coming NFL Draft, Josh Allen, would never have played at Wyoming this past year under the revised rules.  He was already on the radar screen after his Sophomore season at Wyoming and would have likely transferred to a big time program to elevate his profile if no wait period was in place.

My ideal proposal for modifying the rule would be:
[LIST=1]
[*]An underclassman may transfer programs without enduring a 1-year penalty if the head coach in place at the time of signing the LOI leaves the program.
[*]An underclassman may transfer programs for any other reason, but upon doing so will endure a 1-year penalty before playing at the new program.
[*]A graduate may transfer programs for any reason without enduring a 1-year penalty.
