As a 25 year D3 coach I applaud this by nannywarth

Students athletes transfer at D3 all the time, and because there are no scholarships involved it is usually for reasons that include athletics, but also includes lots of other factors. I do not see how it serves the "student-athlete" to penalize them for transferring once to a better academic-athletic situation. It will cause upheaval for coaches and schools that are used to the old way of doing things, but be aware this has been happening forever with student-athletes who don't have scholarships at D3. In my eyes it makes the student-athlete experience closer to a regular students experience.

I am aware that football and basketball students generally do NOT live the regular student experience and that they are responsible for making millions of dollars for their schools. I don't believe that should be an overriding concern in the rules that the NCAA makes.
