NCAA approves single transfer portal window: How the new rule will impact college football

Per CBS:

College football's transfer portal season just got much shorter.

The NCAA Administrative Committee on Wednesday adopted a proposal to eliminate the spring transfer portal window, moving away from the previous two-window system that allowed players to submit their names in the portal over 30 days across the winter and spring. Changes will go into effect this season, with precise dates to be determined next month.

The key takeaway is the elimination of post-spring transfer movement, a popular option that more than 1,000 FBS players took advantage of this year.

"I desperately think one window is better," Nebraska coach Matt Rhule told CBS Sports. "Basketball has one window. So it's not like we're the first sport to do it. We're just making ourselves whole like the other sports."

Said a FBS general manager: "Having to retain your roster twice a year was ridiculous."

I think this will settle some of the jumping around. Also, be very strategic on when that window occurs. I still think the portal helps programs like MN more than it hurts them.

If a player doesn’t like where they shake out after spring ball, can they unenroll and maybe play juco the next fall to preserve eligibility?

I believe they can, and then enroll at any other school to play. They would lose their scholarship, forgo any pay they are receiving from the school, and presume they would lose any NIL money as well.
