Shortening the offseason Topic

I'm pretty sure I've complained before about this but its so long.<br /> <br /> For NC teams 2/23 is the last day of games for Knight.&#160;<br /> <br /> For 1st round CT knockouts with no postseason 2/18<br /> <br /> recruiting doesn't begin until 2/28 and ends 3/5 with the next season 3/7<br /> <br /> So for 1st CT knockouts no postseason thats 2 weeks and 3 days between seasons with a week of recruiting.<br /> <br /> And recruiting is so long a lot of teams get their players sign very early on and those last few days are a drag.<br /> <br /> It would be hard to shorten job changes/openings, but couldn't the renewal date be moved up? &#160;I beleieve its the 2am shift after the NC so a full day of basically nothing coaches have the whole season to renew. &#160;We could shorten job changes to a 1 24 hour cycle( or even 2 12hours) then immedietely go to 3 hour cycles not another 12 hour waiting period. &#160;Recruiting could be shortened to 4 days maybe so start 6pm tuesday for example signing begins 8pm wednesday finished friday.<br /> <br /> Its just really long unneccesarry waiting periods in between and why I've joined so many worlds to not having to do anything for 2 1/2 weeks with really only 3 days of recruiting

I am a big fan of the 5 day recruiting period but I don't see an issue with the other suggestions.

I agree. Once I actually counted the down time in a one a day world. If you have a bad team and lose in the first round of a conference tourney, that's 9 calendar days of waiting just to see the season finish. Then a day for job openings and 3 more days for the job period, another day before recruiting starts, 5 days of recruiting, and then finally the season starts again. So what, that's almost 3 weeks between seasons. Most of that time there is nothing to do. If you have a light recruiting cycle, it could be brutal.

I think the job change period should overlap with recruiting. This would give an advantage to coaches who stay at the same school. That mirrors real life too. Why can't the periods overlap? If you want to move schools, then take the hit on recruiting. To me I refuse to play one a day worlds because of the sheer slow pace of the seasons. I get bored way before the seasons start.

I am not really for shortening the recruiting process. But I would shorten the job process by one day.
