UNDATED (AP) — Big Ten coaches appear to be largely in favor of last week’s proposals by the Division I council that would create early signing periods in June and December, instead of in February. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says that to him, “it makes perfect sense.”

At least two coaches, Maryland’s DJ Durkin and Ash, though, don’t want an early signing period earlier than December. Ash says he doesn’t think it’s a “good path.”
