New transfer rules take effect October 15th: "athletes will have the ability to transfer to a different school and receive a scholarship without asking their current school for permission..... This new system allows a student to inform his or her current school of a desire to transfer, then requires that school to enter the student’s name into a national transfer database within two business days. Once the student-athlete’s name is in the database, other coaches are free to contact that individual......The rule change ends the controversial practice in which some coaches or administrators would prevent students from having contact with specific schools. Conferences, however, still can make rules that are more restrictive than the national rule." www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/new-transfer-rule-eliminates-permission-contact-process

With the Titans having 6 open scholarships and the unsigned talent pretty much depleted, some have been wondering if the new rules affect the ability of kids to transfer to Detroit and play immediately.
The answer is "no." The requirement that one sit a year after a transfer has not changed. Indeed, the change announced this week is very minor--it only affects the procedure by which kids can begin to seek out transfer options, and limits the ability of a school to restrict transfer options.
Under the old rule, if a kid wanted to transfer, he needed to seek a permission to contact. This enabled him to contact other coaches and other coaches to contact him. Schools rarely if ever denied permission, but they did sometimes--though not as often as many seem to think-- restrict the ability to contact certain schools, such as in-state or conference rivals, or schools they might have felt tampered with the student. If the school denied permission to contact or restricted a player's options, there was a process for the player to appeal.
Under the new rule, permission to contact is essentially automatic: the student notifies his school, and the school must enter his name into a transfer database within w business days. Once the kid is in the transfer database, any school can contact him. However, conferences can still put added rules in place, for example, prohibiting conference schools from contacting students at other conference schools. To prevent tampering, the new rule also ups the penalties for tampering. And none of this takes effect until October 15, after official practices have begun and student-athletes are already enrolled for 2018-19.
So this is a nice move that simplifies the process for the kids and prevents vindictive coaches from cutting off some transfer options. But it doesn't change the basic transfer rule--a player must sit a year when changing schools, absent hardship or the situation where a student has received his degree but still has eligibility (the "grad transfer" rule).

This is a wise and long overdue move by the NCAA.
The 'conference clause' is one I can see getting implemented, perhaps by the Big 10 just because they like to have control plus play be their own rules.

Note that as a walk on, AD can now transfer without sitting.
