NCAA on verge of approving a single January transfer window for college football
The NCAA's new January transfer window from Jan. 2-16 replaces December and spring periods to protect postseason eligibility and reduce player losses during critical games.
- The NCAA is poised to approve a single January transfer window from Jan. 2 to Jan. 16, replacing Dec. 9-28, for players on postseason teams to remain eligible for playoff and bowl games.
- Overlapping College Football Playoff and transfer-portal timelines forced players into impossible decisions, bowl subdivision coaches supported a January portal during their earlier this year, and CFP teams get a five-day window.
- The oversight committee initially recommended a Jan. 2-11 notification window but expanded it after athlete feedback, while players on CFP teams have a five-day window and the coach-fired exception allows 30 days.
- The change is expected to let coaches focus more on coaching during bowl season and prevent most teams preparing for bowl games from losing active players, after spring transfers like Nico Iamaleava leaving Tennessee for UCLA disrupted rosters.
- The Jan. 2 to Jan. 16 window now awaits final signoff from the D-I administrative panel after approval by the Division I bowl subdivision oversight committee and expanded athlete feedback.
