Charlie Baker, speaking with reporters at the NCAA Convention, said transfer windows are challenging because they must be built around academic calendars.

Student-athletes can enter their names into the transfer portal during two different periods for the 2024-25 academic year. The first took place in early December and the second in late April.

Penn State football's overhaul of its wide receivers room for 2025 is in full swing. The Nittany Lions' top two receivers reportedly will enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, thus making running back Nicholas Singleton the team's returning leader in receptions for next season.

FBS coaches voted unanimously in favor of replacing the current two portal periods with one 10-day stretch in January.
