On Wednesday, January 14th, the NCAA Division One Cabinet approved changes to the transfer window for multiple sports, including women's and men's track and field. The approved change featured the removal of the transfer window that opens after the completion of the indoor track season.

The next transfer window was set to open for indoor track and field on March 10th of this year and later close on April 23rd. However, the recently approved change means that the spring-time transfer window in question will now seize to exist, effectively immediately.

Ultimately, this decision means that track and field athletes will no longer be able to transfer between the indoor and outdoor track and field seasons.

The next transfer window period is set to open on May 28th and close on June 26th. There were no changes to the Division One cross country transfer windows.

In the press release, the NCAA explained...

"Moving forward, track and field student-athletes will still have a 30-day window that opens the day after selections for the Division I Men's and Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships, as well as during windows that occur at the end of the fall."

According to an Instagram post from FloTrack, these changes will also apply to Division Two and Division Three. However, The Stride Report has not yet been able to confirm that detail as no official announcement has been made by NCAA governance committees for Division Two or Division Three.
