From the Athletic:

The Division I Football Oversight Committee voted to approve a move to a single transfer portal window, beginning Jan. 2 and lasting 10 days. The move still must be approved by the NCAA’s administrative committee, and a vote is expected before Oct. 1. But what does this mean for player movement?

The spring transfer portal window, which lasted 10 days in April, will be eliminated.
The winter transfer portal window will move out of December, after most bowl games are complete, and will be sliced in half (it was 20 days in 2024).
Graduate transfers, who last year were able to enter the portal on Oct. 1 and were eligible to enter all the way through the end of the spring window, will also be restricted to the 10-day January window.
There will still be an immediate 30-day window to enter the portal for players at schools that make a coaching change.

With Stanford having an interim head coach for just this season then Andrew Luck may/will get a look at what players are looking to transfer as soon as the season is over or shortly there after.

How would any of you like being Andrew Luck over the next 3 to 6 months with the following on your plate:

• Hiring a new head coach.
  
• Keeping players from transferring who provide the ability/potential of helping to turn around the football program.
  
• Keeping the high school players who have committed from de-committing.
  
• Looking for players who have entered the portal who could help the program.
  
• Maintaining support for the program.
