The NCAA Division I Cabinet has approved changes to the college football calendar. Starting in fall 2027, teams can schedule up to 12 regular-season games over 14 weeks, ending after Thanksgiving. This week, the cabinet also allowed teams moving from the Championship Subdivision to the Bowl Subdivision to be bowl-eligible immediately. The change applies to teams like North Dakota State and Sacramento State. Additionally, the FBS and FCS oversight committees proposed shortening the January transfer portal window from 15 to 10 days. They also suggested a new model for spring and summer activities. Votes on these proposals are set for August.
