Kids can just unenroll and enroll at their new school. NCAA can’t really do **** about that. Guess the only thing that officially changes is allowable contact between the parties if they aren’t in the portal. But tampering has been around since Morse code.

Makes no sense to have the ONLY portal window be during the college football playoffs? Most ridiculous thing ever. Unless you want to harm the schools still competing and boost those on the outside looking in

Don't really get why they'd have Jan2-11 which I guess is the current likely date, given the CFP is 12/31-1/19, especially when Conference Champ games are around 12/6. Like why wouldn't portal immediately open after Conference Champ games? Or why wouldn't you just move the CFP timeline earlier so there'd be no interference with CFP at all? Also NFL draft deadline is 1/15 (for teams not in cfp).
Honestly with how dumb bowl games are getting, I think they need to just eliminate Bowl games at the end of the season and make them the Week 0 game for anyone who qualifies. The bowls themselves can still do a big selection thing and all that.. Then only have the CFP at the end of the year. Then you can move the CFP up to be 1.5-2.5 weeks after Champ Games so Dec 17/18 start instead of new years and ending with title game on new years/eve. Then you can have portal just be after CFP ends 1/2-whenever. End of Feb or March is probably a good date for portal to close. And start allowing teams to treat spring games like nfl teams do a joint practice or pre-season game. Last day for Spring registration at Miami is 1/21, so having a 2-3 weeks is enough time imo. And then it makes it easy that the contracts are then 1/2-1/1 the following year....

If I’m reading it correctly, kids in the playoffs have 5 days after their last game to enter.
Overall, I think this is a good thing. There is no way the current system was sustainable. It was basically every kid on every roster on a 1 year deal. Made it impossible to truly manage a roster and depth. I totally understand why coaches were fully in favor of this.

I’m not worried about players leaving the playoff teams. I’m worried about the playoff teams not being awarded proper time to recruit. You’ll now have to juggle preparing for the playoff game and building your roster with transfers at the same time.
Need a team that’s dedicated only for this year around.
I get the concern. This probably isn’t the perfect solution but it’s the best there is for now. The true playoff contenders have football operation departments that can get the portal eval and recruiting done while the coaches are preparing in January.
Most colleges start the winter semester by middle of January so you can’t have kids walking into class 2 weeks into the semester.
Question if u do it this way can u get a scholarship at your new school? Or are u a walk on who uses nil to pay his own tuition
