NCAA proposes new 10-day transfer portal window for college football
Summary

The NCAA Division I FBS Oversight Committee has submitted a proposal to revise the college football transfer portal window. The recommendation suggests a 10-day notification period, beginning on the first business day after January 1, replacing the current 15-day window. This change is designed to occur after the New Year’s Six bowl games. Additionally, the committee proposed the introduction of OTA-style workouts, allowing schools to conduct two offseason practice periods with a total of 21 on-field practices. Teams would also need to establish at least nine weeks for voluntary activities when no required practices take place.
