Vote to change is in April and seems likely to pass by all reports.

DI Football Oversight Committee modifies recruiting package

>>An early signing period in college football is one step closer to a vote. The Division I Football Oversight Committee on Tuesday recommended modifications to its comprehensive recruiting package proposal at the NCAA Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, moving it closer to a final vote by the Division I Council. The Council could vote on it as early as April. In the latest package, the Football Oversight Committee maintained its support for a mid-December early signing date that would last for 72 hours and is also the first time junior college players can sign a National Letter of Intent.<<

Okay but just because the "NCAA" makes a new rule...who votes on it to accept it, doesn't the P5 have bylaws allowing themselves their own votes to avoid any new "NCAA' rules they don't like.

The P5/AFCA support this...

LOL. None of us know what the future will hold for Edsall 2.0. But if you think what we accomplished in Edsall 1.0 was "o.k." you were being idiotic in your expectations. Whether you like him or not.

This is the joke about UCONN football
And why it will always be a joke. That's the double standard you guys don't seem to understand. 8-5 at a meaningful program as a top line gets you canned, and when that's pointed out you guys say we'll we're not a major program, but yet you want to say Michigan, Alabama, Tennessee do the refine offers all the time.

You pick the narrative to suit your argument - well you are a lawyer so it fits.

Try to make a coherent point next time you post.

Do you care how little sense that makes? Because we don't have the history, resources or recruiting grounds that OHio State has, so realistic goals are different, that means we have to play by a stricter set of recruiting rules than they do? WTF? That makes no sense at all.

Coherent point? I'd settle for any point.

In the south, HS coaches would blackball a program that did something like this. Shore coaches take notice.

There's plenty we don't understand, but look at what we're dealing with.

Penn and Cornell. And his mom and coach come crying to the media?

There is a difference between being one of the top 10 programs and fitting into the top 30-50 range. We'd like to fit into the top 30-50 and every once in a while push the top 15. We did that in the last 4 years under Edsall. And don't think the top 10 programs are the only ones gaming the system, oversigning, hiding players at prep school, admitting kids that are academically out of their league, rescinding scholarships etc. It's not that anyone rationalizes what happened because of Michigan. They're just a convenient example.

 

[huskymedic]

Much more balanced discussion w/ Golic Jr and Luginbill. Luginbill did a fair job explaining the situation coaches face, how they are @ disadvantage not being able to discuss what happened. Need to find CFB Live link of broadcast.

Can anyone find the link/video for the 1:30p College Football Live broadcast today?

This story would be so much better if he lived in Fairfield county.

Well this is going to just kill the story for the media. The kid will actually land on his feet. Yesterday you would have thought this outcome impossible... if you listened to all the "experts".

Think anyone is going to write an article complementing RE2 for giving the kid enough notice so that he has time to land on his feet? Me neither.

So when a kid gets an offer rescinded between now and signing day, which I'm confident will happen, will the same talking heads going to redirect their anger toward them? I doubt it.

Considering everything going on in the world, I can't believe that "privileged star athlete faces disappointment for first time" is national news.

 

[Chief00]

Chief, what are you doing up at 4 am?

Living a dream - when you both get to bed and wake up at that time during the same week.

Having attended Lehigh U. for two years : obligatory Lafayette Sucks!

 

[UCweCONN]

I hope he replaced this kid with a better prospect and reneges on a bunch more if it will help turn our program around. If this kid is an FCS level player, why was he offered in the first place? A ton more players bail on their verbal commitments than schools reneging on their offers. Where's the media outrage when that happens?

 

[UCweCONN]

Isn't Lafayette a university???

 

[UCweCONN]

I don't disagree with taking that into effect, but if Edsall doesn't belive the young man is good enough and he's not, and then feels like he never got a chance, that doesn't necessarily foster goodwill with the coaches either.

Yeah, probably won't be seeing any more players going to UCONN from that school as long as their coach is there.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

This feels appropriate

Damn....there goes the pipeline!

It is, but is titled Lafayette College.

 

[Adios]

This kid would probably rather play for any FBS team than an Ivy League school.
