The NCAA is set to pass a few new rules this week (probably Friday) that would have great potential impact on the Syracuse Orange football program. One of them is pretty cut and dry: a 10th coaching position, effective January 2018.
But the other major discussion -- an early football signing period for recruiting.— is a little more nuanced. Basically, the current National Signing day (in early February) would stay intact. But in addition to that would be an early signing period, coinciding with the JUCO signing period that already exists in mid-to-late December.
SB Nation’s Bud Elliott dives into it at length in a very broad sense.
