UCLA coach Mick Cronin has expressed concern over the transfer portal, which allows players to transfer three or four times a year, opening for a 15-day window on April 7. This change was made to align with the end of the season. Cronin is advocating for schools to exceed the $20.5M revenue-sharing cap per school to retain their players. Most schools are giving most of their revenue to football players, while most give their largest share to football. The transfer portal allows any player to find a new school every offseason. Despite efforts to combat the transfer frenzy, teams have to sign multi-year NIL deals with recruits.
