College Football's Chaotic Calendar: A Crisis in the Making

College Footballs Chaotic Calendar: A Growing Problem - The world of college football is grappling with a chaotic calendar, leading to awkward coaching changes and player transfers. The recent departure of Lane Kiffin from Ole Miss to LSU exemplifies this issue. The current schedule, with National Signing Day during conference championship week and the transfer portal opening during the College Football Playoff, forces coaches and athletic directors into a frantic scramble. This constant churn leaves many feeling frustrated, with some athletic directors proposing solutions like eliminating spring practice, moving signing day back to February, and opening the transfer portal later in the spring. These ideas aim to bring order to a system that has become increasingly difficult to navigate.
