Two-Year Transfer Concepts Revisited

NCAA Looks to Revamp Two-Year Transfer Legislation

If you remember back to December, the Compliance Office asked for your input on some proposed changes to the two-year transfer legislation.  The NCAA's Academics Cabinet met to review feedback that was provided and decide on the best way to move forward.  It now appears that if any changes are adopted, it would likely come with an effective date of August 1, 2013.  They also have some additional insight into the "academic year of readiness" that has been proposed for NCAA Nonqualifers who attend a Junior College.  There is some interesting information provided on how that might be implemented.

We have our monthly BigSky compliance call tomorrow morning, and we expect to hear more about what type of discussion went on at the Academics Cabinet meeting.  I will be sure to pass along any additional updates I get to you at the New Legislation Review, which is going to be held next Tuesday February 15th at 11:00AM in the Athletics South conference room.  Another good reason to attend the legislative review.
