I agree. They really should implement an early signing period in August for football. I know it's been talked about and a lot of schools are pushing for it. The last few weeks before signing day in football are a complete circus.

I recently read an article proposing to get rid of the signing periods and just let kids sign whenever they wanted with the caveat that they are binding unless the signing school has a change at head coach. I really like that idea although clearly some additional details would need to be worked out. Sounds like a great way to cut out a lot of the nonsense like "soft commitment" or "non-commitable" scholarship offers.

I like the idea Hawk, one thing I would like to see is a rule that keeps schools (like UL) from over signing and then releasing a bunch of recruits later.
