COLUMBIA, Mo. — With talk of moving a December fixture to June, it all is a bit Australian, innit?
College sports leaders have floated the idea of shifting the December early signing period — when high school seniors can make commitments to colleges official by signing letters of intent — to June. It’s well-intentioned, given established critiques of how clogged the December schedule is for college coaches, but the idea already has plenty of opponents.
Add Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz to that list.
While he has voiced his December displeasure with gusto, Drinkwitz is deferring to the judgment of high school football coaches when it comes to the proposed June signing period.
