With a tweak to the originally proposed dates, the NCAA's new one-time transfer portal notification window will take effect this January.
College football players will now have from Jan. 2 through Jan. 16 to notify their teams of their intent to enter the transfer portal after the change was approved by the NCAA D-I Administrative Committee, per a release by the NCAA. The NCAA's 30-day transfer window for athletes going through head coaching changes has also been shrunk to 15 days by the committee, and will now open after a new coach is hired rather than when a coach is fired.
