Faculty athletic representatives at Baylor and Iowa State have proposed a new rule to the NCAA would allow student-athletes to transfer without sitting out if their head coach has resigned or been fired, or if postseason sanctions have been placed on their program.
Baylor law professor Jeremy Counseller and Iowa State professor of molecular pharmacology Tim Day co-wrote the proposal, which “stands in stark contrast to the present system.”
Under the new rules, football players who were on the 2015 Baylor football team would have been able to transfer to new schools without having to sit out a season.
