The Division I Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee on Thursday recommended legislative changes to the football recruiting calendar, including a modification to the notification-of-transfer windows.

The Division I Administrative Committee must approve the legislative changes before it can take effect. The vote is expected to occur before Oct. 1.

Under the recommendation, undergraduate and postgraduate FBS student-athletes could enter the Transfer Portal between Jan. 2-11.

This 10-day notification-of-transfer window would replace the current structure, in which football student-athletes may initiate notification during a 20-day period in December and a 10-day period in April.

Student-athletes who are members of teams that participate in a postseason contest on or after Jan. 7 may provide written transfer notification during a consecutive-five-day period beginning the day after their team's final postseason contest.

From the NCAA: In response to student-athlete feedback, football oversight committees will consider modifications to proposed single January window, including length of window and corresponding dates. Admin committee expects to consider modifications during October meeting.

The current proposal for the single transfer window for football is that it would be open for 10 days from Jan 2-11. Player feedback is leading to more discussion about the length and timing of that single window.

I’m torn on this, because while I’m all for maximizing freedom for the student-athletes, I could see this change leading to more student-athletes remaining on scholarship and getting their degrees.

I think it’s reported that something like 40% of FBS football players who enter the portal don’t end up enrolling at a new FBS school.

Possibly so. Would certainly seem to eliminate?? transfers who don't like where they are on the depth chart following Spring practice.

Do the current rules require schools to honor the spring scholarship for athletes who portal and don't find a landing spot? I am not sure if the lack of scholarship is the reason for not continuing or completing school, but if so,, then that should be changed

If you enter the portal and the school replaces you, you're outta luck.

Are a greater percentage of Spring portal transfers a result of “the talk” from their than fall transfers?

If I counted correctly, there are 7 bowls from 1/2 - 1/19, including the championship on 1/19.
How can the transfer window be just through 1/11 then? Bowls and teams don't matter?

The portal window is extended for 5 days after your last game if you're still playing after Jan 7.

I don't have numbers of why but my gut tells me it's alot of depth chart casualties or in our case the big boys coming in with a NIL bag for your best DT and then our slot WR trying to get more money...stuff like that
The talk I would think comes at the end of the year one on one meetings I would think.

I thought this already happened?

Someone will sue to remove all transfer restrictions and they will win and that will be that. The NCAA should just leave it be.
