The D-1 Board of Directors met yesterday and accepted some rule changes on player compensation while deferring transfer rule changes.
"The board did adopt Transformation Committee recommendations that would allow schools to provide more financial benefits to athletes.
'Schools can now pay for more to support a student’s academic pursuits, purchase insurance such as critical injury or illness and loss-of-value, and fund participation in elite-level training, tryouts and competition,' Transformation Committee co-chairs Greg Sankey, commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, and Julie Cromer, athletic director of Ohio University, said in a statement."
The transfer rule changes include unlimited transfers with immediate eligibility.
"A recommendation to change transfer rules for Division I college athletes that included unlimited opportunities to switch schools with immediate eligibility was bounced back to a committee for more research by the NCAA’s D-I Board of Directors...
'We have some questions about the proposed transfer package, and we will take up this topic again on Aug. 31 at our next meeting. Many of us have concerns about the impact name, image and likeness is having on the transfer process, and we want further analysis on that issue and its potential impact on graduation rates before taking action,' University of Georgia President and board chairman Jere Morehead said in a statement."
