College Coaches Vote to Eliminate Spring Portal and Push Winter Portal to January - Starting 2026

Featured Replies

The big issue for me is that a later January portal isn't really compatible with um, the players actually going to college?

It seems like a better solution is to get rid of all the dead time on the calendar and get the national championship game on NYD.

 

I like the idea of the portal opening after the championship game and players not joining the new team until the summer.

I thought I heard Sark on record this past year supporting the idea of having only one transfer portal window and make it in the spring.  Whether it’s the first 10 days of Jan (before spring semester starts) or later in the spring, it makes sense to only have one transfer window per year.   
 

What other schedule changes are coming?   I liked Klatt’s recommendation this week to move up the college football schedule so that the entire month of December was college playoffs then end with national championship on NewYears Day.  That idea would align well with this new transfer portal schedule occurring Jan 2 - 12.

It’s hot as hell in Texas at the start of the season.
