NCAA Considers Single Transfer Portal Window for College Football

Proposal aims to reduce transfer periods to one 30-day window in December to enhance roster stability.

The NCAA Division I Council will vote in October on eliminating the spring transfer window for football players.
The proposed change would consolidate the current 45-day transfer period into a single 30-day window from Dec. 9 to Jan. 7.
Coaches largely support the move, citing benefits for roster management and stability.
Players competing in postseason games would still have a five-day window to transfer after their final game.
A blanket waiver for this season allows players to participate in postseason games without affecting their redshirt status.
