WATCH: Can college football expand the redshirt rule to nine games?

The NCAA Division I cabinet has approved changes to the transfer windows for six sports, including men's and women's basketball, wrestling, men's and women's track and field, and men's ice hockey. The transfer portal for basketball will now open for a 15-day period immediately following the respective NCAA championship games. Additionally, special provisions have been established for situations involving head coaching changes. A 15-day transfer window will open five days after a new head coach is announced. If a new coach is not named within 30 days of a departure, a window will open on the 31st day post-departure, but only after the basketball transfer window and until January 2.

Midyear basketball transfers who enrolled during the first academic term are ineligible to compete at another NCAA institution in the same academic year. In football, the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) has proposed a significant change to the redshirt rule, recommending that players be allowed to participate in up to nine regular-season games and all postseason games
