Reports: NCAA looks at cutting spring portal window for football
Jun 4, 2024; Eugene, OR, USA; A NCAA logo flag at Hayward Field. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports The NCAA Football Oversight Committee proposed the elimination of the spring transfer portal window to the Division I council this week, Yahoo Sports and The Athletic reported Friday.
At present, Division I football players can enter the transfer portal in two different windows during the year: a 30-day period after the conference championship games are played, as well as April 16-30, which fall in line with spring practices. The April window is what's on the chopping block.
Players do not need to commit to their new school during those windows. Those dates are merely when the athletes are able to enter the portal.
The Power 4 conferences and the American Football Coaches Association support the move to get rid of the April window, Yahoo reported.
The idea comes amid the settlement of the House v. NCAA court case that would impose 105-player scholarship limits in football and eliminate walk-ons starting in 2025-26.
The DI Council could vote on the recommendation to eliminate the spring portal window during meetings this fall.
