Will Early Signing Day Move Up?

Recommended Posts

It has been proposed that early signing day be moved to December 4th so as not to conflict with the early portal entry date.

 

CFB knows it has to do something to help coaches out in December but is this enough?

I don't remember where I saw it but I read one proposal to move early signing day all the way back to the August period just before the season kicks off and keep the traditional February date for those who see the August commitment/signing date as to rushed.

It is certainly true that December is a ridiculously busy time for coaches.

I saw that too... But it would be another signing day so there would be three. I don't hate the idea but with the coaching carousel what it is these days it feels like a mess waiting to happen.

The early-early date that is being discussed would occur in early June.
