In future years, that deadline will be May 1. The NCAA says it extended this year’s deadline due to the timing of this rule change. Exceptions could be made in the event of a head coaching change, the release said.

Update. The SEC has a deadline for SEC only teams to enter the portal and play in the fall. I didn't know this deal.

However, the rule change does come with a caveat. In order for an athlete to be eligible immediately at their school of choice, they must declare their intent to transfer by Feb. 1 for fall sports, May 1 for winter sports and July 1 for spring sports. The athlete does not need to choose his or her destination but must at least be in the transfer portal by those dates.

"The SEC has established a deadline for declaring an intention to transfer in fall sports as February 1 in order to create time windows that are more consistent across fall, winter and spring sports," Sankey said.
