Thread: NCAA approves transfer window, FBS requirement changes; no 15K attendance minimum

    Default NCAA approves transfer window, FBS requirement changes; no 15K attendance minimum

    Taken from the CSN BBS board:

    https://www.ncaa.org/news/2023/10/4/medi...ndows.aspx


    Excerpts from the press release:

    The Division I Council on Wednesday approved changes to notification-of-transfer windows across all sports, including a reduction from 60 to 45 total days in both FCS and FBS football and a reduction from 60 to 45 consecutive days for men's and women's basketball.

    The Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee supported 45-day windows as preferable to previously introduced 30-day windows.

    ...

    New transfer windows for Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision football will include a 30-day window beginning the Monday after FBS conference championship games. For student-athletes on teams that compete in the College Football Playoff, there will be an additional five-day transfer window in January. A second transfer window of 15 days would occur during the second half of April.

    In men's and women's basketball, the windows will open for 45 days the Monday after Selection Sunday.

    ...

    The council voted to eliminate the annual limit on initial counters in both FBS and FCS (previously 25 and 30 per year, respectively, per program). Limits on initial counters had been suspended by the council in 2021 as a result of uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of the one-time transfer exception.

    ...

    The council also adopted changes to membership requirements for Football Bowl Subdivision schools that:

    - Eliminate attendance requirements at FBS schools (effective immediately).
    - Increase the application fee for transitioning from FCS to FBS from $5,000 to $5 million (effective immediately).
    - Require all FBS programs to provide 90% of the total number of allowable scholarships over a two-year rolling period across 16 sports, including football. FBS schools will also be required to fund 210 scholarships each year, amounting to no less than $6 million annually (effective August 2027).
    - For schools that begin transitioning to FBS in 2024-25 or later, requirements must be met by the conclusion of the transition process.

    That's a pretty big border wall between the FCS and FBS now.

    Tears of relief and joy in Monroe, tears of regret in Lake Charles and other wannabes.

    How many scholarships do we currently fund?

    The dropping of the attendance minimum requirement is an indicator that the massive NIL and portal combo is hurting attendance everywhere.

    Fans have no idea who they are watching.

    Here are the ncaa limits (rounded up)
    Baseball/Softball 24
    Basketball m/w 28
    Football 85
    Volleyball 12
    Tennis m/w 13
    Soccer 14
    Golf m/w 11
    Track et al 31...

    Looks like we have the total, but not much room to spare. We are likely low on the cost however.

    We should start women's crew and get 20 more allowed and/or beach volleyball with 6. Then the other question is do we count/charge the ATHL schol at the out of state rate when appropriate? So an up year in in state recruiting could dip us lower in cost?

    Good question.

    Can we meet this requirement?

    Can ULM?

    If we have 105 in state and 105 out of state (unfort school website has not updates tuition prices) as of 2022...

    105 in state ×'s $22.4K = $2.35 M
    And 105 out of state/int (not a large difference in price)
    X's $36.1k = $3.79M for a total of $6.14M so we barely make it...

    Also another wild card is meal plan, if players are on training table paid by athletics is meal plan still in scholarship amount?

    If not we deduct $800k and don't make it or just $326K just for football and may make it if we are not at the absolute min of 210.
