According to new NCAA regulations, any institution that awards scholarships to transfer student-athletes after taking athletics into account must continue to do so until the student has completed all of the requirements for a bachelor’s degree, or until they transfer again or participate in opportunities for professional athletics, whichever comes first.
College athletes from all sports will still be eligible after their initial transfer as long as they tell their previous institutions in writing during the prescribed notification-of-transfer timeframes (as determined by their sport.) The board expanded the requirements for student-athletes seeking urgent eligibility exemptions by putting a stronger emphasis on their welfare.
