Mark has probably said this somewhere......and he may want to clarify........
The transfer portal permits student athletes to place their name in an online database declaring their desire to transfer. Athletes enter the portal by informing their current school of their desire to transfer; the school then has two business days to enter the athletes' name in the database. Once an athlete's name is entered in the database, coaches and staff from other schools are permitted to make contact with the athlete to inquire about their interest in going to another school/program.
Fall sports – A 45-day winter window opening the day after championship selections are made in that sport, and a spring window from May 1–15. According to the NCAA, "reasonable accommodations" would be made for participants in football's FBS and FCS championship games.
Let me NOTE that a couple of sites say there is no window for when a player can enter while other sites say there are. It is confusing because of a couple of announcements that players had entered or were going to enter the portal????
Student-athletes whose athletic aid is reduced, canceled, or not renewed by their current school may enter the transfer portal at any time without penalty. This exception also applies to those undergoing a head coaching change.
Student-athletes who are set to graduate with remaining athletic eligibility, and plan to continue competition as postgraduate students, are exempt from transfer windows. They may enter the portal at any time during the academic year, subject only to deadlines of May 1 for fall sports.
