NCAA Division I Council proposes cutting transfer portal window in half

The NCAA Division I Council proposed changes to the transfer period windows that would reduce the total number of days that student athletes can enter the transfer portal from 60 down to 30.

As it stands now, there is a transfer window in college football that starts the day after the College Football Playoff teams are announced, which was Dec. 4 in 2022, and is open for 45 days. Another transfer window is open in the spring from April 15 to April 30.

For winter sports, there is a 60-day window that begins with a given sport’s championship selection and there is a 45-day window for spring sports that begins with that sport’s championship selection, as well.

The transfer windows were created this past year to limit the timeframe for which athletes can transfer from school to school.

Undergraduate student-athletes must enter their name in the transfer portal during those windows to be granted immediate eligibility at their next school of choice. They are not required to transfer within those dates, as long as their name is entered prior to the closing of the respective transfer window. … rest of story at … ESPN.com/college-sports/D1-council-proposes-cutting-transfer-portal-window-half

This also applies to student-athletes who wager on their own games or on other sports at their own schools.
• If an athlete wagers on their own sport at another school, sports wagering education will be required as a condition of reinstatement, and the loss of 50% of one season of eligibility will be considered.

For all other wagering-related violations, such as betting on professional sports, the total dollar value of the wagers will be taken into consideration with the following terms for reinstatement: … rest of story at … Desmoinesregister.com/iowa-state/cyclone-insider/iowa-isu-athletes-in-gambling-probe-received-good-news-from-the-ncaa-betting
