Happy Saturday! Earlier this week, the NCAA announced a proposal to the (still quite new) Transfer Portal. While yet to be officially approved — which would likely happen in October — the change would reduce the windows for players to notify their current school of their intention to transfer from 60 days down to 30.
The Transfer Portal has been a huge disruptor across college sports, with hundreds of football and basketball players taking advantage of both the ease of finding a new home and the corresponding immediate eligibility offered by the NCAA. Without having to sit a season out, there has been plenty of incentive for players to head to greener pastures, and this trend is only amplified by the changing landscape of financial compensation.
