FBS Oversight Committee Proposes Modifications to Practice Calendar, Transfer Portal​

162847_h.jpg


College football’s offseason calendar, preseason structure and transfer portal window could all be in line for changes beginning with the 2027 season, as the Division I Football Oversight Committee continues to advance a series of proposed reforms.

The committee’s latest proposal would significantly reshape how programs manage practice opportunities throughout the year, replacing the traditional spring model with two separate out-of-season practice periods totaling 21 practices. Neither segment could exceed five weeks.

The shift reflects the continued rise of NFL-style organized team activities (OTAs), which have gained support across college football in recent years. Programs are currently permitted 15 spring practices under the existing format.

Preseason preparation would also be shortened under the proposal, with the current 25-day allowance reduced to 21 days. Those practices could be conducted over a 27-day window. An NCAA release noted the adjustment accounts for expanded spring and summer opportunities, stating, “The committee noted that additional practice opportunities would be available during the spring and summer under the new out-of-season activities model, which warranted a four-day reduction.”

Alongside the practice changes, the committee recommended in April shifting the traditional start of the season up one week, to what is currently known as Week 0, ahead of Labor Day weekend.

Roster movement would also be affected under the proposal, as the transfer portal window would be reduced from 15 days to 10. The portal would open on the first business day following Jan. 1 each year. This past cycle’s window ran from Jan. 2 to Jan. 16 after the spring portal period was eliminated.

Beyond practice and roster changes, the committee also continues to explore adjustments to the off-campus recruiting model. That concept would increase the number of staff members permitted to recruit off campus to 17 (including the head coach) and establish a yearly allotment of recruiting days for programs. A formal proposal could be introduced later this summer, with implementation also targeted for 2027.

2026 World Cup (Official Thread)

Bucklion
Biggest losers so far are Canada and South Korea...Canada for not finishing first in the group and thus not playing KO games in Canada, and South Korea for starting with a win and now having to sweat out the 3rd place race with 3 points and a -1. Today's spotlights are on Ecuador, Ivory Coast, Australia, and Paraguay. Sweden needs a point to get through for sure, but not much was really expected of them.

Jury Duty

calibuck
Have served once, called twice, and never got seated. Amazing the time spent on 'getting out' of serving. Some of the reasons were hilarious, and some were very real and down to earth. 'Cannot serve on a two month trial, work on commission, and if don't sell, don't get paid', and 'cannot serve as am single mother, with two children, and precarious job'. Very real answers, but judge didn't seem to care. I was going to use 'I am white, male, old, highly educated, and believe in hanging them high'. Wife suggested I not try that one. On the other hand, if I was being tried, could I use the same sentence to void the trial, as the others are not my peers?

Think easier path to immediate playing time is likely a bigger driver here than pure NIL. Would be nice if we could manage to win this though.

ttun basketball (Dusty May out.......)

calibuck
So he's gonna trade 'kissing asses' of HS kids for coaching up guys that are making 20x his salary? The guys will look at him, and say, 'lookit. I am getting paid $20 million because I can hit the jumper.' Who are you to tell me to change it? Guess my point being that there's always a downside somewhere you gotta deal with. Don't think I'd want to say in the huddle, 'this is what we're going to do, OK LeBron?'

NCAA - slowly ruining football (rules changes - merged)

calibuck
Certainly not a lawyer, and although a decent wordsmith, am hoping I'm not on the wrong page here. But, if a hotshot HS player commits to a school, and enters school in January, in time for winter workouts etc, and plays his football, and his team qualifies for the playoffs his senior year,

Does his eligibility END on December 31 of his fifth year? Which if I am extrapolating correctly, means he is Ineligible to play for his team in the playoffs being held AFTER his eligibility expires. Am fairly certain smarter people than I have thought this thing through its entirety, but my simplistic self wonders....Would wonder if this means, fewer players would enter school in January, but come in in April, in order to protect eligibility five years out. Please someone tell me where I'm wrong....

Jury Duty

Trevi
I had federal jury duty in Newark NJ about 30 years ago in early July. First day I had to report, they gave us a basic overview and stated that the judge was available for anyone that wanted to request to be excused. They added that if you want to go that route, just know that summer is our slowest season, you may or may not serve on a trail if you stick around. If you do get excused, you will be recalled for the fall session which is a much busier and you will in all likelihood have to sit in on a trial. I stuck around, did not have to sit in on a trial.

Ohio State freshman shows incredible body transformation before taking a snap​

The Ohio State freshman could end up seeing significant snaps next season as a freshman.

Bey has made quite the transformation since enrolling in Columbus. He has done a great job dedicating himself to the weight room since deciding that he wants to play for the Buckeyes. While he won't be the starter as a freshman, he certainly will be seeing the field a little bit.

It would be surprising if Bey didn't see the field in some games this season. Bo Jackson and Isaiah West are the starter and the backup, so the Buckeyes are going to only play Bey a little bit. Even so, Bey seems like he's done too much to be sitting on the bench.

Mick Marotti continues to be the strength and conditioning coach for Ohio State. He has some detractors, but Ryan Day clearly thinks he is doing a good job. It's hard to argue with the results, especially after the Buckeyes won the national title in 2024.

Legend Bey could be the next impact freshman for the Ohio State football program​

Bey got a lot of snaps while Jackson and West were sidelined in the spring after having offseason surgery. Until he got hurt, he looked electric out on the field. Now, the Buckeyes have both of their main running backs back. However, they still have to figure out how to get Bey on the field.

Quite frankly, Bey showed too much during the spring not to see the field when the Fall rolls around. Bey will likely see the field in a running back and a receiver scenario. He is a solid freshman who has done a good job of working to make sure that the coaches have noticed him.

SF Anthony Thompson (Official Thread)

ScriptOhio
Question: Just how good is Anthony Thompson?
Answer: Projected as a "lottery pick" in 2027 by ESPN writer.

2027 NBA mock draft: Early projections for top 60 prospects​

With the 2026 NBA draft in the rearview and AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer & Co. off to the league, it's time to shift the focus ahead to 2027.

9. Washington Wizards​

Anthony Thompson, SF/PF, 6-9 | Age: 17.9
Freshman, Ohio State

Thompson is an excellent shooter with great size and length who can man either forward spot, fitting a valuable long-term NBA mold. Scouts want to see greater consistency and improved motor -- he missed the cut at Team USA's U18 trials in May -- but the demand for shooters with size keeps him front of mind as a player to watch in the fall.

Thompson is a good defensive playmaker who can cover ground and block shots with his length and anticipation. He's a bit stiff in his hips, limiting his ability to put the ball on the floor and create for himself. What type of season he puts together at Ohio State will dictate how high he can rise.

Just sayin': Now in all fairness, CBS Sports did not have him as a 1st round pick in their 2027 mock NBA draft.
