re: Loophole for the football transfer portal found. If Kiffin did this they would melt

---

The football transfer window has already passed, and he is not eligible for football this season unless he plays at UCLA.

---

He is eligible to play at another school in the fall.

But the head coach would then be suspended for half the season. He would not be allowed in team meetings, practice, no contact with recruits or players. The university would also forfeit 20% of all athletic revenue.

But now the head coach is suspended

On Wednesday, the Division I Cabinet adopted a proposal that penalizes programs that sign a transfer student-athlete, add a transfer student-athlete to a roster, or allow a transfer student-athlete to participate in athletically related activities before the student-athlete is entered into the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Penalties — which are automatically triggered — include a suspension of the respective sport's head coach for 50% of a season and a fine of 20% of that sport's budget.

The rule change, which was initially proposed by the Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee and has been adopted for all sports in Division I, is effective immediately and applies to all transfers on or after Feb. 25, 2026.
