Tuberville proposes bill to limit college athlete transfers

Washington, D.C. — Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) on Tuesday introduced legislation aimed at curbing the current free-movement climate in college athletics, telling reporters that unlimited transfers have “screwed up” college sports. The former head football coach at Auburn, Mississippi, Texas Tech and Cincinnati said his bill would grant athletes a single transfer without penalty but restrict additional moves, reversing the surge in portal activity that has reshaped rosters across the country. Details of enforcement mechanisms were not released, though Tuberville emphasized the measure is designed to restore stability for coaches, players and programs alike.
