This is with the hope of limiting immediate eligible players.

They are in essence, realizing their waiver system has been a joke and people have been playing it forever. I'm guessing a few waivers will be denied because of this but not many. It's kind of like when a league puts in new rules for refs to follow- the first few weeks they are on it- then they sag off and go back to the way things were.

Old guidelines: Athlete must have “documented mitigating circumstances outside of the student-athlete’s control and directly impacts the health, safety or well-being of the student-athlete.”

New guidelines: Athlete must have, "documented extenuating, extraordinary and mitigating circumstances outside of the student-athlete’s control that directly impacts the health, safety or well-being of the student-athlete.”

While at the same time, the NCAA is facing a crisis regarding the "amateur" status of players . . . And I really hope California calls the NCAA's bluff.

Wisconsin has a similar rule. It's easy to get around. A letter from a Dr. , shrink, or cop and the transfer would go through. Who's going to go against that?

Health is loosely interpreted now. In this day and age, not getting what you want can be interpreted as having emotional distress, which can be considered a health problem.
