On Wednesday, the NCAA council announced a proposal which could completely change the landscape of recruiting on the college football level.

The proposal includes two, 72-hour early signing periods beginning on the last Wednesday in June and in mid-December. The December date also coincides when junior college players can sign National Letters of Intent.

As it currently stands, the only signing period (outside of early enrollees) is in early February. This proposal would in theory enable some recruits to not drag out the process — rather signing early and focusing solely on their high school academics.

Additionally, the proposal talks about increasing the limit on the number of assistant coaches in the FBS from nine to 10. This is meant to help compensate for the bigger roster sizes when compared to other sports.
