That's not exactly accurate, DBB. Alabama's recruitment historically has been before classes and our football season start. So saying we "won't" do it is, at best, misleading. College here starts in mid August so recruitment is the week before classes begin. The first games of football season are now usually the Thursday thru Saturday of Labor Day weekend.
Whether or not any of this has anything to do with Jewish High Holy Days, I have no idea but this year they fall in the two weeks AFTER Labor Day - a month after recruitment. And since Bid Day is on Assumption Day this year, I assume they should move that for the Catholics?
