Maibag question: Earlier signing day?


Do you know if the vote for an early signing period has been passed yet? Also, if passed, how soon do you think it will be started?

Thanks for the question.

It was proposed by the AFCA, but voted down by the conferences. Something like 75% of coach's were in favor of it, but the conferences would have nothing to do with it.

We believe a lot had to do with the timing of when kids sign. In addition, it seems like recruiting in football is getting earlier and earlier, like college basketball recruiting has been for quite some time.

We believe you will see earlier commitments along with a lot more de-commitments because of the pressure put on players from college coaches, high school coaches, media (internet, television, and print), and even the recruits themselves, etc…
