Keep Dec signing for HS recruits.
1 transfer window starting in mid-February.
Let's teams settle their coaching staffs after the CFB/NFL season (except us of course) and evaluate current roster.
Spring Practices start in April.
Transfers are "stuck" at their current school and miss Spring Practice? - eh too bad. It's still "supposed" to be school so finish out the year.
They still have access to facility and academic support.
Was listening to the CFE pod and things being discussed with the calendar are related to moving things back in multiple ways. Coaches are helping lead the discussion, of course they were the ones that wanted a lot of things the way they are now lol. They just didn't realize the mess they were making.
Things being discussed:
Gradually moving the regular season up so week 0 becomes week 1.
Moving the CFP up so the semifinals are on New Years but the big bowls don't like that, who cares lol.
Having 1 signing day and pushing it back to where it was in February.
Getting rid of spring practice in April, concerns about not having enough time to replace injuries if they happen in later in the year practices though.
Having 1 portal in April instead, concerns about players sticking around for 4 more months when they know they're moving on and coaches wanting to know their rosters earlier on but again who cares.
OTAs and summer camp taking place from late spring through summer...May through August.
