NCAA Tables Transfer Decision Until 2021

NCAA will not make a decision regarding immediate transfers until January 2021.

For JT Daniels, the USC quarterback who put his name in the transfer portal. Or Olivier Sarr, who left Wake Forest and transferred to Kentucky. Or Mac McClung, the point guard who left Georgetown and is looking for a school right now. Not good news from the NCAA if you wanted to play in the next academic year. 

The NCAA Management Council Wednesday night decided to table its decision on an immediate one year transfer rule for all sports in college sports and would allow those players immediate eligibility. That's probably still going to happen, but they're not going to touch it until January, and it wouldn't really probably be in effect until the 21-22 season. So if you're JT Daniels, and you put your name in the portal hoping that you could be somebody's starting quarterback in the fall, you have to now go back through the waiver process and see if you can get a waiver from the NCAA for that. 

If you are Olivier Sarr the seven footer who was hoping to be the starting center for Kentucky this basketball season, go through the waiver process. If you're Mac McClung, who's got seven schools he's looking at, same thing. Wherever you end up, you're going to have to file a waiver and chances are it's going to be tough to win that waiver process. So for transfers, hoping that immediate eligibility window would be open for all; it was not opened by the NCAA. You'll have to try again later.
