why does cbb have an early signing period and football dont?

When would an early signing period be for football?

Early signing period for football should be 1st 2 weeks of the season like cbb.

Because college football recruiting is becoming a shite show.

As opposed to college basketball recruiting?

In the Old Days the Signing Period started on the First Saturday in December. Recruits who were ready to sign could sign a SEC Letter of Intent. This was binding I think among all SEC School, ACC, and some Independents I think. At the time it was not binding with the Old Southwest Conference. At the most of the Recruits signed on the First Saturday in December. Then they signed again on the First Wednesday in February which was the National Letter of Intent. Some years LSU did all it signings in December and then again in February. This was good for Recruits who had made of their minds and were ready to sign. At that time Recruiting was not a Media Circus as it is today. Any Recruit should have a good idea where they want to sign by December. They should go back to this. Anyone who wants to sign early in December can do so and if they want to wait until February then they can do that. Now most of the Recruits commit early and only the last ones that want to put on a show ESPN hold out.

They would have to start allowing Official visits to Jrs and there would be a lot involved. I dont see it happening anytime soon.


a lot more stuff would be involved that just hey you can sign in November now

Neither Harris nor Paris are obligated to LSU by signing the financial aid agreement that they've signed. However, I think that LSU is obligated by it. Good thing is, now LSU can have unlimited contact with them.
