2026 Transfer Portal Chaos/Madness Thread
-
Getting this one going for when it's needed.
The NCAA approved another change to the Basketball transfer window. The madness is only 15 days now and starts the day after the Championship game.
The transfer windows in basketball will now open for a 15-day period the day after each sport's championship game.The changes are effective immediately, meaning this spring the basketball window will be open April 7-21 for men. Previously, the window was open for 30 days and began after the second round of the men's and women's NCAA tournaments.
This one impacting coaching changes
Following a head coaching change, a 15-day period will open five days after the new coach is hired. If no new coach is announced within 30 days and the transfer window has already closed, a 15-day window will open on the 31st day for players from that school.

a little more sensible. Football needs the same. Seeing participants in the playoff hit the portal while team still playing is crazy. I don't blame the players. They need to transfer before school is in session for 2nd semester. I see tweets saying make the Rose bowl the national championship game. Problem solved.
