NCAA expected to approve one-time transfer rule: Sources

The new age of college sports free agency is here.

The Division I Council is expected to approve new uniform NCAA transfer legislation this week, which will allow undergraduate athletes in all sports to move freely one time without having to sit out, multiple people with knowledge of the situation told The Athletic. The Council was originally supposed to vote on this legislation last January, but the vote was delayed following the receipt of a letter from the Department of Justice that touched on the transfer proposal but largely focused on name, image and likeness legislation.

This week, the Council will meet on Wednesday and Thursday to resolve the transfer issue as well as a host of other topics, including what the post-June 1 recruiting calendar will look like. Nothing the group votes on is considered final until the meeting officially concludes on Thursday.

The transfer topic is expected to be divided into two votes. The first is the base part of the one-time transfer proposal, which will allow all college athletes, including football and men’s basketball players, to transfer one time and receive immediate eligibility. Currently, all but five sports operate under such a system. This would likely take effect immediately, sources said. “The genie’s been out of the bottle on this for a while now,” one said.

The second part of the vote is whether or not there will be notification dates for those transferring and, if so, when they will be. The proposal includes a May 1 notification date for fall/winter athletes to tell their school they are leaving and a July 1 deadline for spring athletes.

Things didn’t work out for Johnson and Notre Dame. He saw limited action in year one, playing in a handful of games, but it wasn’t what he or anyone expected. With Johnson, as a recruit, he wasn’t a big fan of the Irish. He didn’t enjoy his first time on campus as a prospect either. However, that changed during the process and eventually he saw the big picture that Notre Dame offers.

"At first, when I first visited, I didn't even like Notre Dame," said Johnson during an interview at the All-American Bowl. "I didn't like it at all. When I decided to commit, they were shocked. I thought this was the best fit for me though.

"I think I was a sophomore," he continued, as he thought more about that first trip to Notre Dame. "The campus was pretty dead. It was pretty cold. I know my mom was sick, I was kind of sick a little bit. So, I just think it wasn't a good time."

Things obviously changed. Former Notre Dame offensive coordinator Chip Long got involved and played a big role in getting Johnson on board and sold him on a bright future with the Irish.

"When coach Long and I talked, he broke it down and said Notre Dame would be the best fit for me, I could go here and if I do what I do, I could play right away," continued Johnson during that interview. "He said the degree from Notre Dame can take me anywhere, even if football isn't everything. That really opened my eyes."

Just sayin':

1) See bold above, coaches at some schools will promise a recruit anything, i.e. like what he wants to hear, "I could play right away". The reality was "He saw limited action in year one, playing in a handful of games, but it wasn’t what he or anyone expected."

2) Another highly rated WR from St. Louis enters the transfer portal. This guy was even higher rated than Jamison Williams and would have 1 more year (i.e. 4 years) of eligibility.

All I need to see is "WR" beside the name and I have zero interest. Even with the recent departure, there has never been an Ohio State position group that was less in need of bolstering from the outside.
