"This new system, which will take effect on Oct. 15, will allow athletes to inform their current school of their desired interest to transfer out. After that, the current schools must enter his or her name into a national transfer database — within two business days. According to the NCAA: “Once the student-athlete’s name is in the database, other coaches are free to contact that individual.”
The upshot here: this new legislation repeals an NCAA-wide rule that enabled schools to roadblock athletes from transferring. It improves freedom of movement for players.
In the past, athletes could be prevented by their current athletic department to receive scholarships at other schools.
[B]Here’s the catch, though: this new rule is a nation rule, but that doesn’t mean it’s a catch-all. As the NCAA notes in it’s release: “Conferences, however, still can make rules that are more restrictive than the national rule.” Each league can still set up its own permission-to-contact rules.[/B]
