US EditionHow NCAA's Transfer Portal Proposals Would Change College Basketball's Offseason
The proposed transfer portal windows would be limited to 15 days post-Finals and include new rules around coaching changes, aligning basketball with recent college football policies.
- The NCAA Division I men's and women's basketball oversight committees proposed 15-day transfer notification windows, April 6-20 for women and April 7-21 for men, if approved in January.
- The committees said they want players to wait until championships conclude, citing a desire to align basketball timing with recent college football transfer reforms.
- Under the proposal, once a new head coach is hired, a five-day meeting period and a 15-day transfer request window would follow, or players would wait until April if no coach is hired within 30 days or after Jan. 1.
- The plan would narrow timing compared with the current 30-day post-second-round window, requiring players who enter the transfer portal to do so during assigned windows but not enroll immediately.
- The Division I Cabinet will review the recommendation in January, and if approved, the new transfer rules could take effect in April 2026, marking a major change for Division I basketball programs.
