re: Football early signing periods in the very near future?

I'm against it pretty much as it is following an ugly trend of placing football service over academic preparedness.

I don't think kids should be allowed exposure from coaches of higher learning institutions until after the start of Football season in their senior year.

Secondly I would love to see an about face by the collegiate system and a return to red-shirting all incoming Freshmen players so they can adjust to the rigors of academia.

Will this happen not likely today, but as teams get younger and younger in the NFL eventually they will start farm leagues in order to fill their needs.

College football will face a cross roads in the near future and will they throw down the facade of student athlete and become cattle barns or follow the Ivy league and return to their roots, time will tell.
