How does the NCAA transfer portal work?

The transfer portal permits student athletes to place their name in an online database declaring their desire to transfer. Athletes enter the portal by informing their current school of their desire to transfer; the school then has two business days to enter the athlete’s name in the database.

Can transfer portal players play immediately?

Athletes must enter the portal within one of the windows in order to be immediately eligible to play at their new school through the NCAA’s one-time free transfer rule
