The Weekender: RIP to Miami's turnover chain, an SEC school receives a dozen and a half recruiting violations, and the NCAA wants to create transfer portal windows.
In addition to changes that would positively affect the ability for schools to monetarily support student-athletes through academic and insurance-related pursuits, transfer eligibility and timelines would also see significant re-organization.
Finally, the Council endorsed a concept that would eliminate the blanket rule prohibiting transferring more than once. The concept would also implement transfer portal"entry windows," or periods of time in which student-athletes must provide their school with written notification of transfer to be eligible to compete immediately the following academic year.
For winter and spring sports, students could provide written notification of transfer the day after NCAA championship selections in that sport for 60 calendar days. In fall sports, two separate windows would provide a total of 60 calendar days. The first window would be 45 days beginning the day following championship selection and the second would be from May 1 to May 15.
A vote on these changes will occur next month, presumably before the start of the college football season on August 27th.
