Both the forum and the board members discussed the [URL='https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/di-transfer-group-considers-notification-legislation'][U]work of the Division I Transfer Working Group[/U][/URL]. That group is working toward legislation that would improve the transfer environment for college athletes, coaches and teams.

The presidential leaders supported adding “tampering” to the Division I Manual’s list of Level II violations, which are considered significant breaches of conduct.

The board and forum members also supported a notification-of-transfer model to replace the permission-to-contact system. Under current rules, Division I college athletes who wish to transfer must first receive permission from their current school to discuss transfer opportunities with another school. If the school denies permission, the student-athlete can’t receive athletics aid for the first year after transferring.

The working group is considering a model that would allow a student to notify a school that he or she will transfer. The student could then pursue transfer opportunities and accept scholarships at other schools.

The presidents also indicated initial support for pursuing concepts to increase accountability for schools who take transfer student-athletes and to create uniform transfer eligibility rules, concepts being considered by both the Division I Committee on Academics and the Transfer Working Group. Neither concept is expected to be put to a vote in 2017-18.
