15-day spring window will remain in place
The NCAA Division I Council has shortened the December transfer portal notification window for football from 45 days to 30, it was announced Wednesday.Under the new rule, athletes must provide their current school with notification they intend to transfer within 30 days of the Monday following the FBS conference championship games in early December. Players on teams who participate in the College Football Playoff will receive an additional five days at the end of the December transfer window.
“We are pleased the student-athlete voice was acknowledged and emphasized as part of the conversation about amending transfer windows,” said Cody Shimp, chair of the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. “We are happy that the council was able to find common ground and push forward a 45-day window to continue to provide a reasonable period of time for student-athletes to make rational and informed decisions about their athletic and academic futures.
“Moving forward, we will continue to evaluate the impact of transfer windows on student-athletes, coaches and athletics programs.”
