Early Signing Period Possible??
With the way rules are, I still don't understand why a player ever signs anything but a financial aid agreement.

I couldn't agree more.
From speaking with some of the parents of UCLA's players, none of them were even aware that it was available. And, after speaking with them about it, most were afraid of asking to sign that instead of the NLI. I can sort of see that for the 3 star recruit who got a scholarship offer "late," but for the 4 and 5 star recruits with tons of options, I don't get it.

UCLA and Georgia have scheduled a home and home series for the 2025-2026 seasons with Georgia coming to the Rose Bowl in 2025 and UCLA going to Athens in 2026. Both games will be the season openers for the schools.
UCLA now has three SEC opponents scheduled over the next 11 years. They play aTm in 2016-2017 and LSU in 2021 and 2024.
They'll also be playing over that same period Oklahoma (2018-2019) and Michigan (2022-2023).
I've been to LSU a few times, but I'm going to try to do the road trips for each of those schools. All of them are places I've always wanted to see a game.

I don't know about FA agreements, but say I'm a recruit for 2016 and Miami offers me today 6/18. Can I accept verbally and go immediately to the FA office and get my FA agreement done and signed or do I have to wait for national signing day? If I can go in today and sign, I don't see the point in a early signing period since, in reality, it already exists via FA agreements.

I don't know if it's only for early enrollees, but (at least for early enrollees) recruits can sign scholarship agreements with schools after July 31 of their upcoming senior year. So, in your hypothetical, definitely if you were enrolling early, you could walk in and sign on August 1, 2015, assuming you have a "committable" offer.
ETA: It looks like only early enrollees can sign grants in aid beginning August 1 of each year.

Good diverse 3. Athens has the best campus/town...LSU the best stadium experience...and TAMU is just really unique, especially with its traditions.

Congrats. Dawgs have 8 months to collect Fulmer points and earn those one game suspensions at the beginning of the year so you'll play their second string most likely.

Ok...that sorta makes sense.

Yeah, I'm hoping to be able to do all three. I used to live in Louisiana and I know my wife would love to go back there, so I think we'll go to that one for sure. I'd probably lean to Athens next and then A&M.
I saw on the Scout Alabama site that after they saw the announcement on UCLA and Georgia they were hoping Alabama and UCLA could schedule another series. UCLA has a marquee opponent scheduled every year for the next 11 years other than 2020, so if it were to happen, it would either be 12 years from now and later or in 2020 and then the follow up game to come after 2026, and I'm not sure either school would want that. The Scout Alabama fans didn't think there was any way Saban would do it anyway.
Interesting. UCLA's players usually are the opposite. They get one game suspensions for bowl games for getting into shenanigans during the bowl week.

Hopefully Georgia doesn't back out like they did against Oregon. If UCLA is doing well I think Georgia backs out. Perhaps with the new playoff system they will lay off the patsies.

Wow. That sucks. One of my favorite players when I was a kid, in spite of the fact that he was a gump. The Redneck Riviera will never be the same.gump said:

gump is in the collegiate apparel business right? I know nothing about these contracts, but I just heard that Michigan's new Nike deal is almost $170 million over 10 or 11 years. That doesn't sound right. Is that right?

They are basically paying $10M/year for $10M/year in sales.The Commish said:gump is in the collegiate apparel business right? I know nothing about these contracts, but I just heard that Michigan's new Nike deal is almost $170 million over 10 or 11 years. That doesn't sound right. Is that right?
Nike is a different animal...as is UA...they don't do 'profitable' deals in the normal sense, but look at these as Marketing.

Don't have a dog in the fight but I think Ohio St is gonna steamroll teams. Don't think they're really challenged until the play-off. Don't think it matters who plays QB.

I agree..... After week 1. I think Va Tech serves notice in week 1. Not saying they will win, but I'm betting they cover.

Along a similar line, Michigan is playing at Utah this year. I have a sales rep that calls on me that is big into it all and has great season tickets. He told me he can get me a couple of seats next to him if I want them. I am contemplating going all out Buckeye gear and see how close we can get to behind their bench.Saw the interview that BR did with these guys and thought it was the most creative and bravest thing ever!

Aren't they at roughly 10% accuracy since they've been doing this?SEC Media voted on their pre-season poll today, @ media days.

Pre-season polls are super useful.
