"SEC Commissioner Advocates for Early December Recruiting Dead Period and Signing Day Shift"
The SEC is considering making December a dead period for recruiting and moving the early national signing day up by about two weeks to the early portion of the month, in response to the upcoming 12-team College Football Playoff and the busy nature of December with coaching turnover, bowl games, and the transfer portal. The proposal also includes moving the early signing period to the Wednesday before conference championship game weekend and potentially adjusting the transfer portal window.
