Georgia originally made the proposal, and the change also includes JUCO transfers as well as lower-level NCAA transfers. It does not, however, include high school recruits.
Had the bylaws already been changed, it would have prevented Alabama from accepting former defensive tackle Jonathan Taylor, who was dismissed at UGA for a domestic violence incident.
