New collegiate sports transfer portal set to open Monday
The transfer window â which starts next Monday and runs through Aug. 5 â was issued by the NCAA D1 Committee for Legislative Relief â will provides relief for athletes who could be cut as a result of the roster restrictions that will ultimately go into place.

I am with Kirby on this. Screw the April portal, that is halfway to the season opener. That also allows teams that have not done as good job at roster building/management, for whatever reason, to have a cheat code or a life raft basically, for not running their program or putting in the hard work as well as the better ones or just did a bad job and then try and come poach their players with cash instead to bail their butts out. Again, screw that!
I don’t get the transfer portal while the season is still being played . What’s to stop someone from buying off a player to leave a team in the playoffs to benefit another teams chances ?
@ColumbusDawg Kirby's portal philosophy makes sense. I almost wonder if the Big Ten wants April so its big money schools can poach of the SEC transfers — remember, the SEC doesn't allow transfers within the league in April, so it's open season
@SnakeScott13 Understand, and Kirby acknowledged that, but it's the lesser of the two evils — better than April, May or June when you've prepared an entire spring with a kid thinking he's gonna play a major role. Ask Tennessee, right?
In the name of team parity…..I'd allow the April TP but only if the TP Vagabonds enroll with a team that had a 50% or below winning record the previous year……..sorry Wolverines, Bucknuts, Lions and Ducks….. Let's all work to kill the cupcakes in the Big 1…..I mean 18.
These athletic portals, over the years, are gonna break more hearts than that beautiful blonde Freshman Phi Mu from Gainesville. Happy Fourth of July everyone! GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS! GO DAWGS!
