potential to get a transfer waiver. It's long so if you don't want to read it I've posted the relevant point.

An upshot of the new transfer legislation is that has opened the door for athletes seeking immediate eligibility waivers. A football or basketball player whose coach is fired or leaves for another job could reasonably contend that his well-being has been impacted by circumstances beyond his control. Indeed, it was one of the contentions of the Ole Miss transfers.
The NCAA is considering further changes in the transfer rule, including the possibility of allowing athletes with certain GPAs who are also meeting standards in their progress to their degrees can have immediate eligibility.
Whether those rules are passed or not, it won’t be a surprise if an athlete of a team with a fired coach transfers and seeks an immediate-eligibility waiver on the well-being grounds.
If it happens, would a school attempt to dispute the contention? It would seem hypocritical for a school to boast about the family atmosphere that its coach cultivates and then contend its athletes aren’t negatively impacted when that coach isn’t there anymore.
“I have clients who are coaches, too, so I’ve heard both perspectives on this, but personally, I think the current transfer rules are appalling,” Mars said.
