The men’s and women’s college basketball transfer portal windows would be shortened to 15 days and would open after the men’s and women’s Final Fours under a measure proposed by the Division I men’s and women’s basketball oversight committee.
The Division I Cabinet is scheduled to review the proposal in January. If approved, the legislation would take effect in April.
Under these proposals, the Division I women’s basketball notification-of-transfer window would be open from April 6-20. The men’s window would be open from April 7-21.
The transfer windows currently open after the second round of the Division I men’s and women’s tournaments, and they stay open for 30 days.
The oversight committees also proposed a change regarding when student-athletes can request to enter the transfer portal after a coaching change.
Under this proposal, there would be a five-day period for a new staff to meet their current players after a head coaching hire is announced. When those five days are up, student-athletes would have a 15-day window to notify their school about entering the transfer portal.
If a new head coach isn’t hired within 30 days of the previous coach’s departure, that 15-day window would start beginning on the 31st day.
But if a coaching change is made after Jan. 1, student-athletes would have to wait until the notification-of-transfer window opens in April.
