The NCAA announced some changes to the portal window, moving from 45 days to 30 days and eliminating the National Letter of Intent (NLI) in favor of financial agreements.
The Winter window is now from December 9th to December 28th, while the Spring window is from April 16th to April 26th. The NLI falling away is a sign of the times with the ever-changing landscape of college football and the NCAA clawing to keep up.
The portal has changed college football forever and the NCAA has been behind the 8-ball from the start not predicting how it would affect teams and players.
