In other business, the board adopted a change to waiver policy for transfer student-athletes, which was recommended last week by the Leadership Council. Qualifying student-athletes who cannot transfer and play immediately without a waiver will be allowed a sixth year to complete their four years of eligibility.
The change primarily impacts student-athletes who play baseball, basketball, bowl subdivision football and men’s ice hockey, as well as those in other sports who already transferred once. These student-athletes would no longer be able to seek a waiver to transfer and compete immediately.
Also, at the close of Thursday’s meeting, all new rules adopted by the Legislative Council, including a rule lifting restrictions on feeding student-athletes, became final.

I'm still reading, I know they were discussing giving the Power 5 more autonomy but this is somewhat of a shock right?
Not IMHO. I think the NCAA knew they either had to give the five power conferences more autonomy or risk losing them to their own governing organization.
Or, at least that was the implied thread from the five power conferences.
