Early Signing Day for College Football?

[SectionBNole]

An Atlantic Coast Conference proposal for an early signing date in football was endorsed by several coaches, but some said they want an earlier date than the ACC suggested.

The Charlotte Observer on Thursday reported the ACC is recommending the Wednesday before the third week of December as the early signing day for football. The proposal, which must be adopted by the Collegiate Commissioners Association, would also maintain the current national signing date of the first Wednesday in February.

Football coaches say an early signing period is necessary because programs are recruiting prospects earlier and many programs have been stung by recruits who backed off verbal commitments just days before signing day.

Is it going to be called the 'Charlie Weiss Rule?'

I don't think anyone should be allowed to sign until febuary. That way you don't have to risk as a player seeing the coach who recruited you get fired if you want to play for them. Also, you get an idea of who is staying and leaving and what the odds are for playing time and team sucess
