Heck, for that matter, make it so schools cannot hire a coach until after the national championship game is over. Under the above scenario, you’ve got a couple weeks to get coaches hired, a couple weeks later the portal opens and a couple weeks later it’s national signing day. Right now it’s just one big free for all on all fronts with everything happening while the season is still going on.

One more step. Do away with Spring training, have a camp of some sort in June instead. That way transfers don't miss that early training and also get a full academic year. We all know academics really matter to a large percentage of players. wink
