Why not move the signing day and portal to February?

With the extended playoffs why not move national signing day and the portal back to February?

This will be an issue for every coach that makes a change. It’s puts the school behind and screws them out of a recruiting year.

The early signing period took the fun out of the official signing day. Why wouldn’t they just do away with the early signing period? It gives the playoff teams more opportunity for recruiting.

The current system doesn’t make sense.

Nothing about the current system makes any sense.

As for the transfer portal, we still have to pretend and align with semester enrollment

same with baseball. Portal during the post season. Hughes distraction to teams and coaches still playing, at that point. Trying to assess your team needs, rerecruit your players and fill voids all while trying to continue to win games is unfair.

That makes sense on the portal.

Early enroll players that sign in the early period also start school at the start of the spring semester.

Where the Feb signees meet in the summer.

Because spring practice and classes.

I have an idea. Eliminate the portal. The portal and NIL have not improved college football.

Or just not have a signing day. The are basically free agents now. Make an offer and sign when you accept

That’s because it would make sense if in February and there would be less to rant about. Also, don’t give me the early enrollment BS. Kids need to finish HS legitimately before going to college
