Moving up the early signing period to the first Wednesday in December would be a very welcome change for FCS teams especially playoff teams IMO. I'd be hopeful that it would also somewhat stem the coaching hiring stampede that happens in mid-December throwing monkey wrenches into playoff runs (NDSU's last 3 head coaches have announced they were leaving for a new job in the middle of a playoff run). In cany case getting the signing period outside of the transfer portal window is a good thing for programs at this level I think. I still would prefer having the early signing period in August but this is a decent compromise.
