The window for Division I college athletes to enter the transfer portal is shrinking from 60 to 45 days.

The NCAA Division I Council voted Tuesday to approve the reduction for all sports.

“Council actions are not final until meetings conclude today,” the NCAA posted Wednesday on social media.

The DI Council approved changes to transfer windows in all sports to 45 days, including:

??Men’s & women’s basketball: 45 days
??Football: 45 days (30 days after season, 15 days in spring)

Council actions are not final until meeting concludes today.

In football, a 30-day window will open after the season and a 15-day window will be available in the spring.

In basketball, the 60-day window that followed Selection Sunday last year will now be trimmed to 45 days.

Exact dates for the upcoming calendar year have not been announced.

The Division I Council had previously proposed slashing the windows to 30 days before settling on 45.

Graduate students can still enter the transfer portal at any time.
