NCAA proposes stiff penalties for programs that add transfers outside of two-week portal window
On3 • • sports
Key Points:
- The NCAA Division I FBS Oversight Committee has proposed strict penalties for football programs that add transfers outside the designated two-week transfer portal window, following incidents like Ole Miss adding a transfer nearly a week late.
- Proposed sanctions include multi-game suspensions for head coaches, a fine of 20% of the school's football budget, and a reduction of five roster spots for the following season.
- The emergency legislation aims to enforce the transfer window rules and prevent tampering, with a final vote expected in April to potentially implement the penalties immediately.
- Additionally, the committee voted to eliminate the annual limit on official recruiting visits, allowing unlimited visits in Division I football, aligning the sport with other NCAA sports' recruiting practices.
