The Tampa Bay Times recently surveyed all of the I-A college football programs, asking the question whether or not there should be a football recruiting period similar to how college basketball is.
86% of the respondents said that they were in favor of having one. This would mean that recruits could sign a LOI before the Feb 1 signing day if they so chose.
What do you all think of this idea? Here is the link:

i'm not so certain i would "vote" for the voiding of a LOI in the event of a coaching change. you hear all the time that players should commit to the school and not the coach, even though you can't blame an 18 yr old kid for getting attached to people that schmooze him and tell him everything he wants to hear for commiting to the coach rather than the school. i think if nothing else any school that's being investigated by the NCAA and there is even a slight possibility there may be a head coaching change coming because of said investigations, it might keep some players available to other schools by knowing that if they sign the LOI and the coach that offered and promised them more than other schools gets canned they're stuck there and won't be so fast to pull the trigger

I guess that would mean an end to flipping recruits. That's assuming programs would have to back off once it's signed.
I'm sure Danny Hope's for it.
Without
doing a lot of research I would guess that this would be good for most universities. Not the top end football programs. I feel this would create more parity in college football.

Isn't football the only sport with one period? I know basketball and at least a few NR sports have two, and I thought I remembered hearing that it was everything but football.
Go Blue!
