Can anyone tell me which blocs are for it and which are against it? Major programs? Smaller programs?

Yall really think we need this? CFB will never have an early signing period. I think it would be bad for the game, everything would get twice as shady as it already is. What would be the whole point?

IMO - they should leave it like it is now. Too much liability with grade and injury issues. Also, if they moved it to mid-August some kids wouldn't have even taken their official visits by then.

Elaborate? I'm not seeing the potential for things getting twice as shady. Early signing in basketball hasn't resulted in that. In fact, with the ability to hold schools to their scholarship offers by letting kids sign early, it might actually clean up the general clusterfrick that the regular NSD sometimes gets caught up in.

Just eliminate National Signing Day all together. If you're ready to sign a letter of intent and the school wants to offer one, sign it. End of story.

Are you crazy? This is how things are done. It's how things have always been done. Do you think Goliath signed with the Levant SuperPhilistines any damn time he pleased? No, he waited for the right day because that's just how it's supposed to be.

It's definitely shady. I'm just not seeing how the early signing period is in any way responsible for part of that.

This would be my suggestion as well.
Can sign at anytime after the end of their JR year up until the Feb during their SR year.
This would really curb a lot of the flipping and uncommittable offers.
Would have to be a few ways to break the NLI for both parties. Coaching changes, legal problems, injuries. Etc
This is the best system.

Miles is 'bout it bout it'
But pretty much all of this is why I'm opposed to it. The staff needs as much time as possible for evaluations and to know that these kids can do it physically and mentally and that they will be ready by the time the season comes around. I don't see this happening, like you said, too much liability.

If you aren't sure a kid can play, then you don't offer. If you want to take officials before you sign, then you don't sign.
It's all pretty simple.

I think football recruiting is a different demand then basketball. I can see coaches pushing kids to sign early to lock them in place, but most kids are going to want to weigh everything out, see places. Coaches aren't going to want that so deals would be put in place imo. Not saying that isn't already happening but I feel it would move to a bigger scale.
Also, isn't basketball already some of the dirtiest recruiting?

No, it is not near that simple.

Why not?

The timing of fall sports isn't very conducive to an early signing period.

Stupidity and fear.
