The NCAA is on the verge of changing one of the more chaotic aspects of modern college football: the transfer portal schedule. Under the new proposal, football players will no longer have two separate transfer windows each year (one in winter and one in the spring), but instead just a single offseason window. The spring option is being eliminated, and the oversight committees are still working out the exact timing and length of the winter window based on feedback from studentu2011athletes. A final decision is expected in October.
This change is a big deal for the sport for several reasons.
