NCAA brass met in Indianapolis on Wednesday to review and announce “minor adjustments” of its transfer policies that, according to the NCAA, are “intended to clarify the requirements, prompt more involvement from athletics directors and give guidance to members as they submit waivers.” The old policy, implemented in 2018, ruled a committee could grant a waiver to a transfer for immediate eligibility if the athlete could provide “documented mitigating circumstances outside of the student-athlete’s control and directly impacts the health, safety or well-being of the student-athlete....
