The NCAA announced this evening that its DI Council approved changes to the transfer portal windows in football, men's basketball and women's basketball.

The transfer portal entry window will be open for 20 days in December and 10 days in April. The dates for this academic year are Dec. 9-28 and April 16-25. There was consideration given to eliminating the spring window totally, but that didn't happen.

The portal window for men's and women's basketball will open for 30 days starting the day after the second round of their respective NCAA tournaments ends.

The question queue is open early, as in now.

If Louisville loses to SMU it really hurts the commentary that they were a quality win.

But A&M dominating like they are is making that win look much better.

I joined WSBT sports director Pete Byrne to share takeaways from Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman's Monday press conference, how ND will recover from the loss of vyper end Boubacar Traore, how DE Joshua Burnham will be used moving forward, which other players are on the mend, how upsets across college football may help the Irish, what kind of credit ND may get for beating Navy and ND's focus ahead of Saturday's home game against Stanford.

Inside ND Sports is partnering with WSBT to provide even more coverage of the Notre Dame football season. James and Byrne will record a video every Monday following a Freeman press conference.

When googling "boubacar traore injury" I find that Boubacar Traore of the Wolverhampton Wanderers has a ruptured ACL and will be out until around Christmas. Creepy. I'm unable to find any further news about our own Boubacar Traore.

Notre Dame up from 13 to 12 in the coaches poll. Missouri and Michigan drop below after losses, but Clemson jumped over the Irish.
AP poll due at 2pm ET.

A couple of TD catches by WR Elijah Burress.
