    An early signing period is coming to major college football after the Collegiate Commissioners Association on Monday approved a 72-hour signing window for December.

    The first early signing period for Division I will run from Dec. 20 to Dec. 22, 2017, coinciding with the first three days of the midyear junior college signing period. The NCAA's Division I Council last month approved the early signing period, but it needed final clearance from the commissioners, who control the national letter of intent program. Commissioners had been expected to approve the plan at their annual meeting in June but instead fast-tracked the proposal.

    College football previously had one signing period beginning on the first Wednesday of February. That signing period will remain, though most prospects are now expected to sign in December.
