CHAPEL HILL — Reports have emerged that the NCAA is considering significant changes to its transfer rules. One proposal would allow athletes with at least a 2.6 GPA to transfer and be able to play immediately, without having to sit out a year.

North Carolina coach Roy Williams said he wasn’t informed enough to offer an opinion on the potential new rule, but he did offer some general thoughts on transferring, and on the APR, which is a tool the NCAA uses to track academic progress.

The NCAA honored 58 ACC teams on Thursday for academic achievement.

Duke led the the ACC, and was second among the six major conferences, with 13 Public Recognition Awards, given to the teams that rank in the top 10 percent in each sport in the Academic Progress Rate.
