The NCAA Football Oversight Committee on Thursday recommended to the Division I council to extend the recruiting dead period to Oct. 31 and eliminate the evaluation period for football in the fall. This according to a story written by ESPN’s Heather Dinich.
According to Dinich, the committee wants to eliminate the recruiting evaluation period in the fall because three-fourths of the evaluation period has been missed and coaches will not be able to make up the time in one month.
The report also says the oversight committee will recommend a spring-season model for conferences that pushed their football seasons to the spring.
