Does the upcoming new rule no longer requiring permission to contact other schools and essentially creating a database of eligible transfers for coaches to pick from apply to all sports, or just some? I know it applies to softball, since that's the only sport I need to carefully follow.
It's funny seeing everyone up in arms about football players transferring whenever they want. I don't think any sport but football and basketball has the sit a year rule, so it's like free agency every spring in softball. Coaches could play games with the permission rule - which is going away now - and they can still restrict in-conference transfers, but it's like the wild west at the end of every season. FSU won the WCWS this past season based largely on the strength of a senior transfer pitcher they poached from FIU to replace a graduate from the previous year, and OU has brought in multiple stud transfers. They are following the FSU model this coming year, grabbing an FAU pitcher to help replace 2 senior pitchers who graduated.
