With non-football early signing period upon us, we're about to see how messy college sports is going to get

Months ago, Arizona athletic director Desireé Reed-Francois and her administrators created 26 different models for how the university might structure its player compensation system in the new era of revenue sharing.

Twenty-six models went to 10 models, then to four models, then, finally, to one model.

This week, that model is being executed. Over the last few days, the school has distributed revenue-sharing contracts to recruits ahead of the start of the early signing period on Wednesday, when all non-football prospects can sign with schools.

“We met two weeks ago with each one of our head coaches,” Reed-Francois told Yahoo Sports in an interview last week.
