Transfer within the Big Ten, out of the Big Ten or into the Big Ten?
NCAA wide. A proposal that may be voted upon in the next NCAA meetings

I'm all for player agency, but I don't believe for a second the B1G is. B1G wants to collect those disillusioned SEC stars buries on rosters.
"Fourth string at Bama? You can start next year at tOSU/Michigan/Wisconsin."
In addition to this new rule, they need to lower football scholarships to prevent hoarding in the first place. I bet the B1G is against that.
This could substantially hurt many of the FBS schools. The top 10-15 schools could "re-recruit" the late bloomers and really increase the talent level distance between them and the rest of the FBS schools.
I would like to see this limited to the first two years at a school. If you don't transfer by the time you have finished your second year as a rFr or true soph, you stay or are subject to current sit out rules. Kids make mistakes in college choices. They should be able to fix that. However, after 2 years somewhere, you know if the place is right or not.
I would also add a transfer option, no restrictions, no sitout, if the head coach is fired or forced to resign by the school. Might want to put some time restrictions on this. Give the new coach a chance to "re-recruit" his current players before they can be enticed to leave by other teams and coaches. Then open a four week "fired coach transfer window" for the players, beginning one week after the first Feb signing day. For this year, that would mean opening the window Feb 12.
Retain the restrictions if the coach leaves to take a job at another school. I would set up player transfer rules to make hiring a coach to get players from his former school less attractive.
Coveted USC QB JT Daniels is transferring to UGA. Would be hilarious if he was somehow eligible and healthy enough to play in 2020.

From the article:
Daniels' move to Athens has raised some eyebrows around the college football world. Newman, who threw for 2,868 yards and 26 touchdowns last season, was presumed to be the unquestioned starter for the Bulldogs. He was so highly regarded that William Hill Sportsbook installed him as a 10-1 favorite to win the Heisman Trophy behind only Fields (7/2) and Lawrence (4-1) when odds were released on April 2.
Daniels, a redshirt sophomore, would have to receive an immediate-eligibility waiver from the NCAA in order to compete with Newman. He has at least two years of eligibility remaining. It's unclear whether he will pursue a waiver at this time. Several undergraduates have received such waivers including Fields, who started his career off at Georgia in 2018 before transferring to Columbus.

Gonna be pretty special when Carson Beck transfers to UCF in 2 years.
Why would JT Daniels have to sit out (other than injury) next year? He played in one game/could redshirt. I guess if you redshirted/didn't play the prior year, you still have to sit out upon transferring? I'm not fully in favor of transfer free agency, but that's a dumb rule. No player should have to sit two years in a row.
