  • The NCAA Division I Board of Directors has approved a waiver that will allow certain student-athletes from non-NCAA institutions such as NAIA programs and junior colleges to compete in the 2025-26 academic year,

The NCAA Division I Council has approved a temporary eligibility exception for athletes transferring from junior colleges (JUCO) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) to Division I schools. This exception allows these athletes to compete immediately without having to sit out a year, which is typically required for transfers. This decision was made to address the unique challenges faced by JUCO and NAIA athletes, particularly in light of the disruptions caused by the recent global health crisis. The rule change aims to provide more opportunities for these athletes to showcase their talents at higher levels of competition, potentially impacting recruitment strategies and team rosters for the upcoming seasons.
