Early signing proposal for football doesn't pass

I don't think that is a surprise, considering the lack of support in some circles for the timing offered, which was three days mid-December.

Another reason, and a big one...

Sankey and Delany want to revamp the whole recruiting calendar if they're going to do an early signing day. That's why this one didn't pass.

The devil is in the details here. There is 'consensus' for having an early signing period. There is no consensus among the P5 schools about what that should look like. You should read that as what the SEC and their P5 brethren think will give them the most recruiting advantage.

But to be sure, they'll couch it in player welfare terms.
