NCAA ratifies immediate eligibility for athletes no matter how many times they switch schools
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NCAA athletes are now eligible to play immediately no matter how many times they transfer — as long as they meet academic requirements — after the association fast-tracked legislation to fall in line with a recent court order. The Division I Board of Directors formally ratified the change to the transfer rule and approved a tweak that allows schools to identify name, image and likeness opportunities and facilitate deals between athletes and third parties.

Beginning Aug. 1, member schools will be permitted to increase NIL-related support only for athletes who disclose their NIL arrangements.
