Ohio State Coach Ryan Dey said on Tuesday that he is not a fan of the proposal that would bring major changes to the transfer portal window in college football later this year.
The NCAA announced last week that the FBS oversite committee voted from December to January to transfer the Winter Transfer Portal Window, shifting to the 10-day period which will begin on January 2, 2026.
The committee also supported the abolition of the spring transfer window in April, which means that FBS players would have 10 days in January, which would be to enter their name in the NCAA transfer portal if they want to transfer to another school for 2026 seasons.
Division I Administrative Committee should approve legislative changes before implementation, with expectation of a vote before October 1. The head coach of Defending National Champions hopes that it is not too late to change the syllabus.
“No, I don’t think it’s a good idea,” Dey told reporters at his weekly news conference. “And we had a conversation with Big Ten coaches, I think most of them agree. I just don’t understand that the teams playing in the playoffs are expected to make decisions and sign their upcoming players, while they are still getting ready to play for the game. It’s no meaning to me.”
The January Transfer Window, if approved, will open a day after the completion of the college football playoff quarter -finals. This year’s CFP semi-finals, VRBO Fiesta Bowl and Chik-Fil-e Peach Bowl are scheduled for 8 and 9 January respectively. The transfer portal window will then close on 11 January.
Coaches and administrators are seeking a solution to the difficulty of the December calendar, with changes in coaching, bowl practices and games, transfer recruitment and high school signing Days.
In January, AFCA Executive Director Craig Bohl said that FBS head coaches met at the AFCA Convention, unanimously expressed support for single transfer window starting on 2 January, saw the change as a positive to delay and ensured to stay with their teams to finish more players. Last year’s winter transfer window was extended from 9-28 December.
Ohio State recorded its name to nine scholarship players during their playoff run, including backup quarterbacks. Devin BrownAnd departed after the National Championship game at the end of four and January.
His schedule and preparation for four playoff games made the portal challenging in December and resulting in only six portal additions, although the bakeies added more during the spring transfer window since April 16-25.
“I know the calendar is cowardice, but I know Big Ten and [commissioner] Tony Petiti is working hard, because she either does not believe it, “Dey said.” Coach in Big Ten, we have discussed very long about it and tried to work through various windows, but I do not agree to be in January. ,
