Portal Windows - Closing Soon

[El Paso Eagle]

FBS transfer portal window closes on January 18th. It's not real clear (hopefully someone can clarify) but it seems the window for FCS players closed today.

Does this mean will have to start next year with the current players and the two that have committed.  I think there are more than two but I can only remember the LB and the Safety.

I believe, this just means it closes to getting in the portal.  Once a name is in there, they can transfer at anytime.  
 

if that’s the case, then come the 18th, if you are in you are in.  If you are out you are out.

No players just cannot enter the portal until the next open window.

It was originally, but they moved it to April a couple of months back. That's what it shows in your previous post. 4/15-4/30.

Different sites are showing the different dates. This was from NCAA.org

The calendar is the only problem I have with the transfer portal.   I believe it should close before Christmas. They should keep then one at the  spring academic period and another one at the end of the summer academic period.  And for the summer portal it should only be available for players not under a full scholarship or their school grants them a waiver.

Yeah, I can't find any other reliable references to that date change or footnotes back to official NCAA release, so it looks like it's still May 1-15.

It's also important to note that graduate transfers don't have a window. They can enter the transfer portal at any time. And we don't necessarily know when guys will graduate.

Also, if for any reason a team's coach is fired or quits they can also enter the portal
