The Division I Council on Wednesday announced its endorsement of the elimination of an NCAA rule prohibiting multiple transfers by athletes, along with other rule changes aimed at the current transfer environment.

The Council also expressed its support for the implementation of transfer windows, time periods in which athletes would need to inform their school of their intention to transfer in order to be eligible for the following year. The release came on the heels of the Council's July 20 meeting; the Division I Board of Directors' vote to approve the recommendations is set to occur at a meeting on Aug. 3.
