I don't recall seeing this many major changes in (what used to be) Division 1 for quite some time. Schools are changing conferences, players are changing schools and there appears to be a plan to increase the National Championship playoff field. So, I took a little time to give you a general summary of the NCAA Football landscape starting next season.
Thanks for the work here, Lyman. I'm not a big college football guy, so I wasn't going to take the time to try and track all of this down - seemed confusing, honestly. This makes it super clean and simple to understand. I appreciate it!
Caveat . . . The Transfer Portal is like juggling squirrels who are, in turn, juggling jello. To my knowledge, there is no "one stop shop" that lists movement in real time. As such, I probably have missed a few and, more than likely, will miss someone already on the list that commits to a new school. Bear with me.
Chip Trayanum How many times can you transfer colleges? NCAA colleges allow transferring more than once. But some transfers could incur penalties. Especially if you’re transferring to a four-year college for a second time. Let’s suppose you want to transfer to your third four-year school. Let’s also suppose that the previous two four-year colleges you attended offered your sport. In this hypothetical, the transfer is allowed but with a penalty of sitting out a year. That means you will not play and possibly not practice with the team for an entire year. So... Chip won't be playing college ball until 2025?
