1. The NCAA permitted anyone to transfer without penalty during the 2020 year given the pandemic.
2. The NCAA allowed any student athlete on a roster during the 2020 year an extra year of eligibility.
3. The NCAA granted all student athletes the one-time transfer a couple years ago. That doesn't include the grad transfer rule, which was always a rule, but was something that nobody ever utilized or heard of until recently.
Essentially, we're still in the midst of student athletes who have both an extra year and were awarded 3 free transfers (COVID transfer, one-time transfer, grad transfer). The extra year of eligibility stuff will end in 2 academic years. That will likely calm down the number of transfers, in all sports, considerably. There's still going to be transfers, but I'm not sure it'll be as abundant beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year.
The new NCAA president has said all the right things to this point regarding some of the "issues" surrounding college athletics. He wants to get a handle on NIL, which is clearly needed. He's also made some comments about the transfer portal and educating players more about the process.
