NCAA Shortens Men's and Women's Basketball Transfer Portal Window, Moves It to After NCAA Tournament

As perhaps the wildest and most unruly football transfer portal window yet in its nine-year history rages on, changes are coming to basketball's portal timing.

On Wednesday, the NCAA Division I adopted a new transfer portal window for basketball. The time for players to notify their previous schools of their departure has been shortened from 30 days to 15 days. Unlike college football, the portal won’t open until the postseason is complete, as it will open the day after the NCAA Tournament championship game for both men's and women's basketball. Last season, players had a 30-day window that began after the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
