Just saw this tweet by Pete Thamel and am, personally, very much in favor of this as outlined.
NCAA transformation committee sent schools some of the recommendations that will be made to the NCAA DI Board of Directors. Of most interest, specifics on the creation of 60-day transfer windows.

b. Spring sports. One 60-day window after the championship segment.
i. If an SA enters the portal outside the window, they have to serve as year in residence upon transfer.

I don’t see any downside as there is plenty of time, twice a year, for kids to make a decision on wether to transfer or stay the course. Windows like this would provide a little more stability and predictability for the coaching staffs and teammates with little or no downside for the freedom of the student athletes in question.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
