According to Nick Bromberg of Yahoo Sports, the rule allows schools to apply for a waiver granting the sixth year for a transfer student if the student-athlete has already exhausted his or her redshirt. Under this agreement, the NCAA eliminates the need for a player to submit a hardship waiver to become immediately eligible. Instead, the school can file a waiver to extend a player's eligibility for an extra season.

Right... so all the players can easily follow the coach to the new team. That's terrible idea. The NCAA has to do what they can to keep teams stable. The only reason they can't make a coach sit out a year is because they would be sued for interfering in the coaches right to do business. But I would imagine that you would like them to have to coach for a scholarship and not pay.
