Washington’s athletic director is making the rounds to advocate for a single transfer-portal window in the spring.
Pat Chun isn’t alone in his desire to eliminate the December window, but it’s noteworthy that he’s taken on something of a spokesperson role for the cause. Chun first talked to Yahoo!’s Ross Dellenger about it in mid-June, then made his case with local media following the approval of the House v. NCAA settlement. Earlier this week, he appeared on the Triple Option podcast with Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II and Rob Stone to reinforce his belief in a single window that leaves college football’s postseason undisturbed.
The message is important enough to Chun that Washington linked to his podcast appearance on its official athletics Twitter account, and later shared a video clip of the interview.
“All this player movement that is happening in December and January — is it good for the game?” Chun said. “Is that a principle that’s important to us, as caretakers of this game? … Come December, come January, you want to be at your absolute best as a team. That’s the goal.”
