"Proposed Changes to College Football Early Signing Period"
College football's early signing period is expected to be moved to the Wednesday before FBS championship games, with discussions to shorten the duration to three or seven days. The move aims to separate the signing period from the opening of the transfer portal window, reducing chaos in December. There are also discussions about a potential summer signing period for high school senior athletes. The changes are being considered to alleviate the pressure on coaches, players, and administrators amidst the coaching carousel, bowl game prep, and the winter transfer portal window.
