No way should underclass men be signing period. Way too much can happen before their first day of class. Contrary to popular belief it is very easy to have schools stop everything but mail contact. So if a soph decides he is going to USC while in his soph year of HS he just opts out of phone and email contact from other schools.

If there is a coaching change the player, who has signed early, has a right to de-commit from that school and then re-open his recruitment so other schools may contact him ad he can then sign on the standard signing day in February of his senior year or in August if he is an 11th grader or younger.

Exactly the reason why underclass men shouldn't be signing. Player should sign with a school for 5 years, or until their behavior, grades or choice voids that agreement. Coaching moves shouldn't void any agreement since the contract is between players and a school. If a player chooses to void that agreement then he should have to sit out two seasons. Keep the current rule that allows players to move without penalty once they graduate.

Make all scholarship offers 4 year scholarships, a school can not revoke a players scholarship for 4 years after that student arrives on campus unless that student has failed to remain on schedule to graduate or if that student asks to transfer or drop out of college.

It should be 5 years and if a player wants to void the contract they have to sit out two seasons.

If a school has signed more than 85 players to scholarships over the previous 3 seasons, they will not be able to offer any scholarships or sign any players the next season unless some of those players have left the school by the players own choice.


If you let players have free agency then there will be plenty of players that can't sign anywhere due to lack of scholarships anywhere. Schools are already limited to the 85 number. If the NCAA made these deals 5 years this is a moot point.

Once a school has signed a player, that school is agreeing to a 4 year obligation and only the player can break it.

Disagree. We are currently arguing against these one sided deals that favor the schools. Why swing these all the way the other way where they are one sided to the players? If we are going to expect one side to commit for multiple years the other side should make the same commitment.
