NCAA considers shortening transfer portal windows

The NCAA has raised a proposal to consider shortening transfer windows.
This issue has been raised by coaches and others in the college sports industry and it was raised this week into the legislative cycle as the Division I Council was briefed on it this week in Indianapolis.
The council introduced a proposal to reduce notification-of-transfer windows to 30 days, down from 60. Data from the past year indicate that most student-athletes enter the Transfer Portal at the beginning of the transfer window.
Now that the proposal has been formally introduced, oversight committees and the Division I Student Athlete Advisory Committee will gather additional feedback and offer potential amendments to the proposal over the summer. A final vote on the proposal will be considered in October meeting.
