The NCAA powers that be have announced some changes to the all-important Transfer Portal. the "window" - aka the time period during which players may enter the portal, is being adjusted. From The Athletic:
The NCAA Division I Council on Tuesday shortened the transfer portal window for football and men’s and women’s basketball from 45 to 30 days, but did not take the step of removing the spring football portal window.
As a result, the football portal will be open this year from Dec. 9 to 28 and April 16 to 25. For basketball, the portal will open the day after the second round of the NCAA Tournaments.
In June, the Council proposed shrinking the window from 45 days to 30 days after decreasing it from 60 days to 45 a year ago..................
There was also concern over what removing a spring window would do for (football) teams that make late coaching changes. This year, Alabama, Washington, Arizona and San Jose State all saw a January trickle-down coaching change after Nick Saban’s retirement, which came after the winter portal window.
While a coaching change creates a 30-day window for players to enter the portal, the lack of a spring portal would further limit the pool of options for those teams to replenish their rosters.
