Good.

Incoming college athletes who have enrolled in summer school and received athletics financial aid can transfer and play immediately without a waiver if their head coach departs before the first day of classes for the fall term. Additionally, walk-on student-athletes on teams that provide athletics aid and nonrecruited walk-ons can transfer and play immediately without a waiver. Those rules are effective for students who transfer to new schools this fall.

Wow. Actual college free agency is now a thing. This is crazy. I don't know how to feel about it, but it is gonna be insane to witness.

Strongly support the walk-on waiver. It was hard to believe that a kid who walked on at a big state school could not transfer to a school willing to offer him a full ride would have to sit out and potentially lose a year of eligibility.
