CBS writer Dennis Dobbs reports something that will be heaven-sent for FSU football if it comes to pass.

Dobbs reports the NCAA expects to end the 15 months long recruiting dead period for college football this week.

If the vote passes, the dead period will end effectively on June 1st, and colleges would be able to host recruits on campus and hold camps.

FSU football had over 100 recruits on campus this weekend for its spring game, but FSU coaches couldn’t interact with the recruits due to the dead period.

"The NCAA Council this week is expected to set an end date of June 1 for the long-standing recruiting dead period multiple sources told CBS Sports."

Mike Norvell and staff got to Tallahassee in early December 2019, and by early March 2020, the dead period became active, and they’ve spent the last year and a half trying to recruit under those conditions.

It made sense with how the pandemic was roaring all across the country, but the NCAA must feel it’s safer now that many people across the country have taken the vaccine.

Not to mention some football camps have been taken place across the country and they have been no reports of the people participating having any issues.
