College coaches around Texas agree that one portal should be eliminated, but not all of them agree on if it should be spring or winter

College coaches split on which portal window to eliminate

Not every head coach in Texas agrees with the recent Division I FBS and FCS Oversight Committees recommendation that the two-window transfer portal model be modified to one 30-day window that would open the Monday after FBS conference championship games and would close in early January. 

This season, that would be Dec. 9-Jan. 7. The Division I Council would need to adopt the proposal in a meeting set for October for it to become effective. Currently, students get 45 days to enter the transfer portal with 30 days open after the FBS conference championship games (fall window) and 15 more starting April 15 (spring window).
