Among the measures that will take effect in August 2008 are:
• Requiring transfers to sit out one year before regaining their eligibility like football and basketball players. Baseball players currently receive a one-time exemption from that rule.
• Teams that fall under the NCAA's new cutline to determine academic progress, a score of 900, also could face a 10 percent reduction in the number of games played and practices allowed. That means some teams would lose up to six games from the current 56-game schedule and 13 of 132 practices.
IMO, these changes will hurt small college programs far more than they will the majors programs.
