An astounding thing has infiltrated major college football.
Common sense.
Ideas and proposals that have been debated for years are suddenly becoming reality.
An early signing period, 10 years in the making. Done.
Moving the start of official recruiting visits for high school juniors entering their senior year to April 1.
Done.
Preseason practice safety measures, such as eliminating two-a-day practices, to make sure no players die of heatstroke.
Done.
Finally, the American Football Coaches Association is forwarding a proposal to the NCAA that would allow players to participate in up to four games of a season without burning their redshirt year.
