The SEC is considering a change to its transfer rules this week at its annual spring meetings in Destin, Fla., that would allow players greater freedom to move to another school within the conference.
The change, which was proposed by the University of Alabama, would push the SEC’s intra-conference transfer deadline for fall sports athletes back from February 1 to May 1. That would align it with the NCAA’s deadline to enter the transfer portal and still maintain eligibility to play the upcoming season.“I would guess that’s going to stay where it is. I think you open up a long time that your players can go,” Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said Tuesday.

“It’s one thing to say, ‘OK, May 1, a guy can leave and go anywhere he wants to go.’ That happens, and I think a lot of times that’s for the good for the player. We’ve had some kids that realized in the spring they may not get the opportunity they so desired, and they wanted to go look at other schools. There’s hundreds of schools they can go look at, you know?”
Under current rules adopted last year, SEC players for fall sports need to enter the transfer portal by Feb. 1 to be immediately eligible to play at another SEC school. Alabama linebacker Henry To’o To’o transferred from Tennessee last year under that new provision, and the Tide gained three intra-conference transfers this offseason in LSU’s Eli Ricks, Georgia’s Jermaine Burton and Vanderbilt’s Tyler Steen.
If the change was adopted, it would allow players to participate in spring practice and spring games at one school and have until May 1 to enter the transfer portal with the ability to transfer to another SEC school. Currently, players entering the transfer portal in the spring would need to choose a new school outside of the conference.
