While I understand your POV, the bottom line items are:

1) Someone has to track all these dates

2) ALL COB bids would not expire until AFTER FR the following year so ALL COB bids would not be equal once again.

We all need to get the emotions out of this and look at the logistics...which are almost insurmountable.

Coaches used to go kidnap players from other schools and get them enrolled and playing within days. Totally not fair.

Ok, so let's go back to the 6 month/semester wait period...

If this were applied across the board, regardless of what type of recruitment was involved, I think it would help. (Except from a paperwork POV. I'd hate to have to be the one to track which women were issued which bids on which days. Ugh.)

I guess I'm not understanding why you would have to keep track of when women were given bids in a 6 month/semester system any more than you would have to keep track of when they were given bids in an annual system.

I thought the full-year-rule wasn't specific, in that it basically requires you to wait 2 semesters to go through recruitment again, not specifically 365 days. Why would you have to keep track of the date that each woman received a bid? Maybe I don't understand how this works...

No, you have it perfect. No one comes running into UT rush on August 27 and yelling "OMG!!! You have 20 rerushers from last year and must make them stop NOW because bid day last year was on August 26!!!"
