Executive Summary: With respect to the four-year undergraduate transfer waiver guideline proposal, we: (1) believe that all student-athletes should receive an immediate one-time transfer waiver, regardless of their sport, however, we believe that there should be certain guardrails to strengthen current tampering rules; (2) support relief of the transfer-residence requirement in documented unique, extenuating and extraordinary (“UEE”) circumstances (where a student-athlete does not meet the proposed One-time Undergraduate Transfer Waiver Guideline), however, we support very narrow and defined UEE circumstances; and (3) have concerns with respect to potential Academic Progress Rate (APR) and graduation rate implications.
