Early signing period for football

Normally, if the football coaches of the Southeastern Conference think something is a good idea, then it must be bad for everyone else, because no one does self-interest better than them.

But an idea floating around from them, to open a very short early signing window between Thanksgiving and December 1 in addition to the February national signing date, appears to be worth studying.

The one potential sticking point to the plan, which received approval at a recent SEC coaches meeting, but was voted down by the league's athletic directors for further examination, is a clause that would prohibit a kid from signing a letter if they've taken an official visit before the official contact period.
