"Attempts to circumvent the transfer window process is an issue for the sport. We want to let everyone know that this is not going to be allowed, and the committee wants to protect the transfer window that has been established."
"We felt this was appropriate to place an emphasis on this rule with where we are in Division I football. We have a window for student-athletes to notify their school when they would like to enter the transfer portal. If there is movement without going through the process as it is legislated, the committee felt there needed to be significant penalties."
The NCAA football oversight committee is recommending emergency legislation to enforce transfer portal rules by penalizing schools and coaches who accept transfers outside the designated January window. Proposed penalties include prohibiting head coaches from recruiting, on-field coaching, and team meetings for six games, fining schools 20% of their football budget, and reducing roster spots by five for the following season. The legislation would take effect immediately if approved at the Division I cabinet meeting in April. Athletic directors emphasize that protecting the established transfer window is critical to maintaining competitive integrity in Division I football.
