Any talk of changing the rules on NCAA student-athletes immediately transferring in the middle of the season is going to have to wait.

In an NCAA press release on Wednesday, it was announced the Division I Transfer Working Group will develop proposals intended "to improve the transfer environment for college athletes, coaches and teams."

Per the report:

Legislation addressing immediate eligibility for student-athletes who meet an academic benchmark and graduate student financial aid will not be considered in this year's cycle.

"The excellent membership and student-athlete feedback really helped the working group in its discussions this week," Chair and South Dakota State AD Justin Sell said about the meetings on Oct. 1-2. "I am confident that in the next few weeks we will come forward with a solid recommendation that will make a real difference in the transfer environment."

According to the release, the most significant change that could be considered this year would eliminate the ability of coaches and schools to restrict aid to student-athletes after transferring.

Currently, Division I college athletes who wish to transfer to another school must first receive permission from their current school to discuss transfer opportunities with other schools. If the school denies permission, the student-athlete can't receive athletics aid for the first year after transferring.

Per the release, the group plans to ask the Council to introduce legislation that would establish a notification model, allowing a student to notify a school that he or she will transfer. The student could then pursue transfer opportunities and accept scholarships at other schools.

Once notification is given, the current school would have the option of not renewing athletic aid, permitting the school to offer that scholarship when recruiting a student-athlete for the next year.

Another piece of legislation would add notification of transfer to the list of reasons a school can decline to renew a scholarship. This is under consideration and would need to be proposed and considered by the schools in the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern conferences.

Also, the group recommended the Council introduce a proposal that would add tampering to the list of Level II violations, which are considered significant breaches of conduct by the Division I Committee on Infractions.
