Division I transfers for all sports get blanket waiver from NCAA, can play immediately
The NCAA Division I Council voted Wednesday to grant a blanket waiver allowing all Division I transfers to play immediately this year.
The waiver covers all Division I sports, and the most immediate impact will be felt in men s college basketball, in which a number of notable players will be able to suit up immediately as soon as Wednesday night. We are thrilled at the passing of the blanket waiver, as we believe it is in line with D1 SAAC, ensuring that all of our student-athletes have the best opportunity to thrive both academically and athletically, said Caroline Lee, vice chair of the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. In a time of great uncertainty amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, we feel it is in our best interest to grant immediate eligibility for those who have transferred in order to best support their mental health and well-being.
