Stupid me, I was confused about this. I thought it was talking about the high schoolers, not being able to transfer.
If you read grads early post he says that they are aloud to transfer to schools as long as they were eligble at their former high school.

Unless I missed something isn't Tulane and most other schools affected still trying to play all of their games? It is not like these athletes cannot compete with their schools. The only hardship is that they are now getting their education at other schools until things are back to "normal".
I can see the point of allowing the transfers if the school cannot compete or has no plans of competing. But Tulane is planing on playing basketball and if I was the coach I would be pretty pissed if other schools started to openly recruit my current players as this was the case.

Yeah - I wasn't sure how HS got into this discussion - though certainly a slew of high schools in the Parishes are likely completely out of luck for this football season.
No, the transfer eligibility for Katrina affected players remains identical with that in place before the flood. If their college gives them their release then they may transfer. If the college does not give them their release then they still are bound by the terms of the scholarship, even though classes may take place across a county (or more likely) state line.
And Piney, yes Tulane and others intend to soldier on, and the best of luck to them all.

So let me get this striaght. We are talking about college athletes say at a school like Tulane, that instead of taking classes at another school and still playing for Tulane, they want to transfer to say TCU and take classes and play this year.

Exactly. If a basketball player from Tulane is currently taking courses at TCU, those course credits will be transferred back to Tulane once the university reopens. Just because the student is presently at TCU does not entitle him/her to play for TCU's team. If the player decides to transfer completely, then they'll have to sit out a year.
This has come up because coaches of affected schools are complaining that they have players who are discussing transferring en masse, and other coaches are recruiting their players, including their upcoming commits from area high schools.

Myles Brand is making statements for the NCAA, which regulates collegiate athletics. Your question seems to be asking about high school seniors.
Most organizations that regulate state high school athletics have relaxed their rules to allow quick transfers. Many high school seniors from the Gulf area have already enrolled in other high schools (some in distant states) and played in football games for their new high schools.
