NCAA eliminates spring transfer period for football
SUMMARY: The NCAA has approved eliminating the spring transfer period for FBS and FCS college football players, following a recommendation to modify the recruiting calendar. The new system introduces a single 10-day transfer portal window from January 2-11 for undergraduate and postgraduate players, replacing the current 20-day December window and 10-day April window. Coaches can still enter the portal within 30 days if their coach leaves or is fired. Players in postseason games after January 7 have a five-day transfer window post-final game. The rule aims to reduce leverage use for NIL deals and takes effect in the upcoming cycle, despite some coaching concerns.
