Bad. Seems like you posted a link and that's all.
Bad form and etiquette.
I got kinda lost in the requirement that a new school has to ensure the student has the same financial aid thru the remaining of 5 year eligibility, unless the student transfers again or competes professionally.
Ok. Understand that.
But then there is this: The legislation also establishes exceptions to the new windows for student-athletes who experience head coach changes or have athletics aid reduced, canceled or not renewed.
So the original school can reduce the aid but the second one can’t? I need an interpreter.

I think they were trying to help the athlete's that transfer to keep their scholarships as many transfers end up having to pay their way at the new school hoping to be awarded a scholarship if they contribute. However, I think it will make transferring much more difficult as most transfers aren't in the two deep and therefore have proven they are a risk for contributing at a different school. If I were a coach I'd rather spend my money on an unproven HS kid than a "proven" college kid. Obviously, this new rule will have little affect on the scholarship status of high-end starters that are transferring.
It's the law of unintended consequences at play.
