Student-athletes may soon be limited to when they can enter their names into the NCAA transfer portal.

On Wednesday, the NCAA DI Council announced that it is recommending transfer portal windows for student-athletes.

These proposed “entry windows” would take place on two occasions — one 45-day window “beginning the day following the championship selection” and one 15-day period after the conclusion of spring practice in May, per college football insider Brad Crawford.

The NCAA's Transformation Committee has proposed limiting in-bound Portal entries to 60 days per year. Will likely go into effect next month, effectively closing the Portal until December.https://t.co/4BRVLjOgHj

During that time, student-athletes must provide written notification of transfer for eligibility.

When the NCAA changed the rules around the college football transfer portal and created immediate eligibility, the result was a flurry of movement as more than 2,000 players switched schools last offseason.
