French defender Mohamed Simakan Lukeba has emerged as a potential target for Chelsea as the Blues look to bolster their defense ahead of next season. Despite only spending less than a year with Leipzig, the 21-year-old has impressed, featuring regularly and helping the club secure 19 points from a possible 21 in their last seven Bundesliga matches.
The NCAA Division I Board has approved new guidelines that allow all multi-time transfers to be immediately eligible to play. The new rules, which go into effect immediately, eliminate the previous requirement for second-time transfers to sit out a year in residence. Athletes must still meet academic eligibility and progress-toward-degree requirements to be eligible. The decision comes after pressure from lawsuits and calls for reform in the NCAA’s transfer rules. The Board also passed new rules allowing universities to help athletes find NIL contracts, with athletes required to disclose deals over $600 to their schools.
