Can you imagine transferring mid-season after indoor but before outdoor. I can't believe that was ever allowed. Did anyone actually ever do that?
The transfer window after the indoor track and field season has been removed. The 30-day window still will open the day after selections for the Division I men's and women's outdoor track and field championships along with the window at the end of fall.
I think Dalia Frias more or less did that or intended to do that. In 2023 she competed at ACC Indoors for Duke, including being part of the victorious distance medley relay and winning her heat of the 3000.
She was suddenly silent on social media and there was lots of uncertainty. Then roughly a week later it showed up here first, a thread rumor that she had been recruited away to UCLA by Brosnan. I believe that thread started after ACC Indoors but before NCAA Indoors.
Sure enough, Frias was absent from NCAA Indoors even though Duke had qualified in the distance medley relay. I don't remember if Frias had qualified for individual events.
Later that spring she had an Instagram post announcing transfer to UCLA. There were also farewell posts to Duke. I just checked her Instagram and the UCLA post was deleted. The tribute to Duke posts remain.
After the Brosnan implosion she announced to Oregon in August.
This is annoying for kids who know they want to transfer, but now have to wait until what, June? to get into the portal. This is going to increase tampering. The post-indoor window lets kids get a jump start on finding a new school.
jordan anthony ran track for kentucky, played football at texas a&m, and then arkansas for indoor track in the same year
You do know that a college year starts in the fall of one year and ends in the spring of the next? Thus talking about what he did "in the same year" is actually talking about what he did in two seperate school years.
