NCAA adding special transfer window this summer
On Wednesday, the NCAA announced that they are opening a one-time transfer portal window this summer, from July 7 to August 5, for athletes that Division I programs have placed on a special ‘Designated Student-Athletes’ list.
Ross Dellenger of Yahoo! Sports reported that an athlete is eligible to be placed on a designated student-athlete list if he/she would have or had already been removed from the school’s roster due to the new House-mandated roster limits, and was also an eligible member of the team during the 2024-25 season, and/or recruited and assured a 2025-26 roster spot by the program.
So, some more confusing language from the NCAA around the already confusing transfer portal rules, but this could be another opportunity for players to move around the league if they aren’t happy with their position on their current roster.
