If approved by the NCAA, the American Football Coaches Association's proposal could go into effect as early as next year

FBS coaches voted to move the transfer window to Jan. 2 through Jan. 12 starting in the 2025-26 academic year. The move would wipe out the current portal windows in December and April and potentially provide a boost to teams competing in the college football playoff and the lesser bowl games.

The vote came following a meeting of more than 60 FBS head coaches at the American Football Coaches Association convention.

Student-athletes can enter their names into the transfer portal during two different periods for the 2024-25 academic year. The first took place in early December and the second in late April.
