I don't think it's a great idea.

Players get hurt. Players get in trouble. Grades need to be taken into account.

Say you sign a guy in August and he starts to slack of his senior year academically, you are screwed. Wasted scholarship that could've gone to someone else.

Plus, the hard deadline date lets more schools have fair shots at players. Every school understands the timeline it makes it easier to optimize recruiting time and budgets.

All great points but what about the "we are only giving 1 QB an offer" a 4 star guy accepts, is committed to you til a week before signing day, then poof he's gone, and the school is screwed

I don't think Elliot leaves OSU, but it could happen to OSU this year (although OSU is stacked at the position even without him)
