NCAA Eliminates Immediate Eligibility Hardship Waivers

NCAA rules have long stipulated that student-athletes in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball and baseball must sit out one year after transferring from one FBS school to another, but the NCAA has granted hundreds of hardship waivers to athletes in situations similar to Khari Harding’s.

The new amendment stipulates that instead of immediate eligibility being an option, the NCAA could grant a one-year extension to the athlete’s five-year clock. Because Khari Harding didn’t redshirt at Auburn, he could theoretically redshirt at Tulsa in 2015 and still have two more years of eligibility anyway.

Bad news for us and other G5 programs. Vast majority of these where players moving from P5 programs to G5 programs.

To the best of my memory, I don't think we've ever been successful in getting a transfer immediate eligibility.

I agree with #classactionantitrustlawsuit

Plus, in the spirit of me being angry about my taxes. Open up taxation on college sports and especially the lucrative bowl system.
