SALT LAKE CITY — Tuesday’s opening of the school football pass portal may be the mechanism’s most intriguing access to school sports.
In December, a court ordered a transitional injunction preventing the NCAA from imposing transfer eligibility limitations through the end of the 2024 spring season.
A little more than a month later, the court issued an injunction preventing the NCAA and its member schools from enforcing regulations similar to negotiating with third parties of the NIL payment until a final resolution is reached in a case similar to the NCAA violations in Tennessee and the investigation. bridle.
It’s unclear whether any of those decisions will have a direct effect on school football. But it’s conceivable that the deal may soon not impose a residency requirement (i. e. , a year’s absence for all repeat transfers) for transfers, which would create some chaos on gameArray.
In that context, here’s a look at the Utah FBS system players who entered the moving portal. All announcements were made on social media unless otherwise noted.
