College football coaches won’t get any relief this Christmas, they’ll still have to duke it out with other schools for their committed recruits.

Wednesday morning, at their meeting at the Biltmore House in Asheville, N.C., the Collegiate Commissioners Association agreed to table discussions about a proposed early signing period until June of 2016.

The decision was first reported by ESPN Recruiting Nation.

“It’s appropriate to take step back in an effort to bring a comprehensive approach to football issues under review,” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby told ESPN.

The initial proposal that would have created a three-day signing period which was expected to begin Dec. 16 for high school seniors. Coaches from the ACC and the Pac-12 had already expressed support for the proposal while the SEC expressed opposition. The early signing period would have been on a two-year trial basis.

Elite recruits were divided on the early signing period proposal, expressing concerns about everything from poor timing with exams looming in mid-December to potential coaching changes at the beginning of the new year.
