The NCAA Football Oversight Committee has proposed eliminating the spring transfer portal window, limiting college football players to a single transfer period from December 9 to January 7. This proposal aims to stabilize rosters and reduce tampering but faces potential legal challenges from players, as it restricts their ability to transfer in the spring. The measure has the backing of Power Four conference commissioners and the American Football Coaches Association. If adopted by the Division I Council, the change could take effect as early as the 2024-25 academic year. Coaches have expressed mixed reactions, noting it could complicate roster management, especially for first-year coaching staffs. The Division I Council will review the proposal in upcoming meetings in September and October.
