If you are a G5 school, most of these are really bad. Final vote is later this month.
1. Satellite camps are dead. Camps may only be held on your own campus. In addition the time period in which you can hold a camp is limited to a single day in June and a Single day in July.
Wonder if GS can have both Statesboro and Savannah camps.
2. Coaches are now banned from signing more than 25 kids in a recruiting class.
Usually not a problem and actually thought that was the limit now with certain exceptions (guess all those different shirt colors may no longer be allowed).
3. Camps must now include educational sessions for athletes covering gambling, drug abuse, agent restrictions, and general eligibility requirements.
4. FBS schools will be permitted to hire a 10th Full time Assistant coach beginning January of 2018.
Good news if you can afford it.
5. Schools cannot hire people with an existing relationship with a recruited student athlete until 2 years after the player signs. Similar rule in basketball.
Does this include coaches? Cause a lot of coaches have relationships with recruits and then switch jobs and try to bring those recruits to their new school. I understand the intent of the rule, but it sounds vague here (probably missing all the legalize)
6. Schools can no longer hold two practices over the same day. To compensate, Fall Camps will begin a week earlier.
Not sure how I feel. This rule will really make having an IPF a huge advantage. GS better start planning.
7. Juniors may now take official visits between April and June of their Junior Year only. A camp cannot be used as an official visit.
ok, not sure how this affects us. Someone please tell me if this is bad or just meh.
8. Early signing period is approved for High School Players. It will be in December over the same 3 day Window that Junior College players can sign. If they do not sign within those 3 days, they must wait till February.
This could be good or bad. I'm hoping this is a good thing overall and allows G5 schools to either sign players before they flip to P5 schools and/or allow the G5 school more time to refocus on other recruits after a recruit has flipped.
