FBS Oversight Committee implements changes to college football calendar

The FBS Oversight Committee announced changes to the college football calendar, set to take effect January 4, 2027. The transfer portal will shorten from 15 days to 10, while teams are limited to 21 preseason practices instead of 25. Additionally, teams may conduct two out-of-season practice periods, replacing the previous spring and summer model. The committee aims to clarify the calendar based on recommendations from the American Football Coaches Association. Josh Brooks, the committee's Vice Chair, emphasized the extensive effort dedicated to creating a schedule that caters to both coaches and student-athletes.
