Michigan's Roster Hinges on Boynton After Dusty May's Exit

Vols cut ties with high-profile Penn State transfer Chaz Coleman amid NIL-era turmoil

Tennessee has removed Chaz Coleman, the Penn State transfer edge rusher once viewed as a potential cornerstone of its NIL-era class, after a tumultuous tenure that included missing most spring practice, health concerns tied to a head injury (vertigo) and questions about his engagement; the program reportedly paid around $2 million for him, but he was medically disqualified and remains on scholarship as the transfer portal closes, making his 2026 status unclear and marking another high-profile NIL-era setback for Tennessee.

NCAA’s Five-Season Rule Aims to End 'Game Five-itis' and Streamline Rosters

The NCAA cabinet approved allowing players five years to play five seasons (with an age limit), a change coaches like NC State’s Dave Doeren say will end the roster-management leverage created by the 2018 four-game redshirt rule and the post-NIL/transfer portal era. It simplifies planning by keeping more healthy players eligible, potentially altering development timelines for players like MJ Morris and C.J. Bailey, and should broadly ease roster decisions across football (and impact-adjacent sports) while preserving a clear path to degrees.

NCAA FBS Proposes Shorter Transfer Window and New Offseason Workouts

The NCAA Division I FBS Oversight Committee unveiled a plan to shorten the transfer portal notification window to a 10-day span starting the first business day after January 1 (opening the Monday after CFP quarterfinals) from the current January 2–16 window. It also proposes OTA-style offseason workouts: two practice periods totaling 21 on-field practices with each period capped at seven weeks and no period exceeding five weeks, plus a minimum of nine voluntary weeks when activities aren’t allowed. The preseason would permit 21 practices in a 27-day window, lowering total practice days by four due to additional spring/summer opportunities. If approved in August, these changes would take effect January 1, 2027. The 2026 cycle was the first without a spring window; exceptions exist for coaching changes, and other calendar shifts (including a Week 0 start proposal) are under consideration with Cabinet review ongoing.
