NCAA Council meeting: Approved measures include reduced transfer portal window, 'modernized' gambling rules

College football players will have 30 days after the season and 15 days in April to enter the portal

​

Reduced transfer windows​

Instead of 45 days after the conclusion of the regular season — defined as the day after the College Football Playoff and bowl participants are announced — there will now be 30 days for Division I football players to enter their name in the transfer portal. The spring transfer portal window, open for 15 days in April, is expected to remain the same.

Initial proposals sought to reduce the transfer portal windows from 60 days all the way down to 30, but the 45-day format provides an opportunity for college football players to assess their current position and the status of the coaching carousel throughout the month of December.

Coaches have complained about the stresses of managing the transfer portal alongside the early signing period for high school recruiting, but there is also the shifting of coaches -- especially assistants -- that occurs throughout December. Giving players 30 days after the season allows for some of that movement to settle as they consider their immediate future with their current program.

NCAA DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL RECRUITING RULES​

D1 football coaches can send athletes recruiting questionnaires, camp brochures and non-athletic institutional publications freshman and sophomore year. Effective for the 2023-24 school year, the NCAA now allows contact between coaches and athletes to begin June 15 of the athlete’s junior year.

Junior Year:

• June 15 before junior year: Athletes can receive any form of private, electronic communication. This includes emails, recruiting materials, texts and direct messages on social media.
• April 1 through the Sunday before the last Wednesday in June: A college may pay for a prospective student-athlete and two family members to visit campus. After this date, a college may offer an expense-paid visit after Sept. 1 of senior year.

Senior Year:

• July 1 before senior year: Coaches can contact athletes off-campus, but only during the contact periods. Coaches are only allowed six off-campus contacts with each student-athlete.
• First day of classes: Athletes can take unlimited official visits. Only one per school.
• September 1: Coaches can call athletes once a week after this time, and they can call recruits unlimited times during the contact period.
