I’m just reporting the news. I don’t even know what the Division I Administrative Committee is or who is on it.
All I know is we might have one transfer portal this year that opens during the playoffs and we all better be ready for it.

So what’s your solution Vols92? Serious question. Or is everything copacetic in the current system? The school and coaches just need to shut up and stand in the corner? Eventually let the inmates run the asylum. I get that it’s the most likely outcome but I also can see great coaches saying frick this and go to the NFL

The only legal thing that can happen..
The NCAA/schools bargain a CBA with a player’s union. Nothing else will change how things are, as any nonsense implemented by the ncaa is illegal and will be overturned in court
The way some of you talk, it seems like you’d be happy to say frick employment law and let the mega corps screw over every American. You think getting what you want and violating the rights of these athletes stops there? Let some legal precedent be set that allows corps to do so and see if corporations of America don’t use that as valid justification for violating the rights of everyone

Sorry man. That’s not my viewpoint. The current administration is already allowing the workers’ rights to be eradicated. I won’t get too deep into to politics because it’s toxic and poisonous but this is what millions voted for. Everyday workers’ rights are being discarded for the almighty dollar at the behest of corporations. Don’t act like collegiate athletes are immune to that wrath

That’s not good enough. That’s still every year. NFL players don’t get that. I don’t care if you give a player $5MM a year, the free agency has to stop.

Awful. So now even if your team is in the semifinals you have to transfer before the title game or else you are stuck there another year. You might have national title games where teams have no backup QB. And if you know you want to transfer anyway, you might as well sit out the semifinals also to prevent injury since you can’t play in a title game even if you win.

Wish that could happen vs the even worse situation we have now. But I don’t see a CBA working either. NFL players are on fairly equal standing between only 32 teams. But no way Ohio State players are going to vote for a CBA that reduces their pay so that Cincinnati and Boston College can be on an equal playing field. It would have to be a small number of 25-30 teams for this to ever work.

I can't think of a compelling reason that would make the courts back this significant change/limitation.

What if players say they should be able to transfer anytime they want, no windows at all, and sue over it? Maybe they should leave this as it is.
If college athletics… or football in particular doesn’t get an anti-trust exemption, players will eventually be able to transfer to the opposing team mid-game.

I am for it. It will keep players from bailing on their teammates between the end of the regular season and their bowl game. And it will make for better games. There are so many teams who have limped into bowls missing many of their players. Sure some will opt out. But it will keep whole teams from transferring in the case of a coaching change until after bowl season.
I know, I know it may not be able to be legally enforceable. But if a player is payed to play football, he should have to play all the games unless injured. I am betting there are lots of us who would love to be able to just skip out of work whenever and however much we want and still get paid the same. But it just doesn’t work like that.

It would make it even more entertaining if they did it mid play.

You are ignoring the fact that unions protect American workers in your bizarro mega corp violating rights scary scary thing.
The same kinda union you seem to be advocating for.
Also, how are you going to get a hundred schools to align in a CBA?

Why not make it in Feb? Allowing people to transfer during playoffs makes no sense at all. If you make it in Feb, then everyone can get to their new school before spring practice starts.

I like the idea, but having it be open during the playoffs is so so stupid. It makes much more sense to open it the day after the national championship
Posted on 9/4/25 at 10:36 pm to JayAg
I like it. Just need to allow playoff teams a 10 day window after their last game of it falls after start of window.
Portal is the biggest problem not NIL.

If they start doing this at the end of the regular season like NFL playoff teams I’m done .

Here are the current windows. I would bet they keep that last window as a loophole just for the playoff teams.
They have to eliminate the December window or you will see more teams declining bowl bids because they don’t have enough players.
quote:
First Window: 20 days, starting the Monday after the FBS conference championship weekend (December 8-27, 2025).
Second Window: 10 days in the spring (April 16-25, 2025).
Postseason Window: A five-day window for athletes on teams competing in postseason play (bowl games, playoff games) after their final game.
They have to eliminate the December window or you will see more teams declining bowl bids because they don’t have enough players.

The schools are the ones who told the NCAA for years NO NO NO on paying players. It's not like they came up w/it themselves. The schools wanted it and use the NCAA as a shield from criticism.
