There will be additional changes, mainly based on the Transformation Committee's recommendations, announced Thursday, but for the moment, these changes take effect July 1:

In order for an athlete to obtain a waiver to having to sit out a year after already using their "free" transfer, the athlete must have either:
(a) a demonstrated physical injury, illness, or mental health condition that necessitated the student's transfer; or
(b) circumstances that clearly necessitate a student-athlete's immediate departure from the previous school (e.g., physical assault or abuse, sexual assault) unrelated to the student-athlete's athletics participation
All other excuses - ESPECIALLY "I didn't get enough playing time" and "they changed my position (e.g. from QB to RB)" - get tossed into some trashcan in Indianapolis

The minimum SAT/ACT score requirement for eligibility has been removed

An athlete expected to use either the discontinued sport or non-scholarship exceptions may enter the transfer portal at any time

plus a few others involving how many coaches some sports are allowed
