The college football recruiting process has changed following a vote by the NCAA Division I council.

Changes to the recruiting model will affect both players and coaching staffs. To view the full announcement of the new rules by the NCAA, click here.

Aaron Ingram, senior manager of the U.S. National Team, breaks down key points for coaches and players to understand about the new rules:

Adding a 10th coach to college staffs will increase opportunities for high school coaches.

This rule will highly benefit high school coaches who know their local recruiting areas well and can bring that expertise to the college level.

The creation of an additional coaching spot will help allow high school coaches to show their abilities and move up the college ranks. High school coaches may initially get hired because of their area connections and intimate knowledge of a particulate area, but once they get their foot in the door, they have the chance to prove their ability.

“They get the opportunity at first, most likely because of connections in recruiting or knowing an area that helps the college out,” Ingram said. “Then they go in, prove their worth, then they're getting promoted.”

Early signing period will benefit recruits and programs

The recruiting process is something that high school players dream of, but it can become tiresome quickly. With the ability for highly touted recruits to make their commitments early, players who may have been lower on teams’ priority lists will get a chance to be evaluated sooner.

Similarly, colleges will be able to definitively move on when a player they are pursuing signs with a different school.

Ingram believes this will benefit both sides of the coin, players and coaches.

“Let’s say you’re a late bloomer, maybe you’re the next guy up on a list, that guy who maybe was ahead of you might sign early. That allows schools to process you quicker. It helps the filtering process for athletes and colleges,” Ingram said.

Shortening camp season could mean fewer opportunities, but less camp fatigue

Previously, colleges had two 15-day windows to work camps across the country. That period has now been cut down to one 10-day time frame.

Along with the shortening, FBS coaches are only allowed to work camps in their team’s facility or in a facility they normally use. This eliminates the opportunity to host satellite camps—where coaches create, organize and run camps anywhere in the country—or in some cases, the world.

This means athletes likely won’t have to worry about attending one team camp after another, weekend after weekend. It also means that when athletes do choose to attend a team camp, they should be fresh and not burned out from camp fatigue.

However, it could have a negative effect on athletes’ ability to get in front of college coaches without potentially having to travel across the country.

“Maybe there’s a kid in Alabama who doesn’t have the money to fly to Michigan to attend a camp,” Ingram said.

The “Individuals Associated with Prospects” rule will affect negatively high school coaches

From now on, if a high school coach has a player sign with a Division I school, they are not allowed to join the coaching staff of that school for two years.

This hurts the chances of a high school coach joining a college program, even if they are deserving of that opportunity. It will especially affect those coaches of high school programs that send numerous players each year to college’s highest level, by eliminating the opportunity for coaches to join those programs.

“If you’re an elite high school coach, let’s say you're at Booker T (Miami) or IMG [Academy] or [Bishop] Gorman, and have multiple kids at multiple schools, you can’t go to any of those,” Ingram said. “How many kids that sign from IMG each year -- 12? 13? That coach can't go to 13 schools for two years, it really narrows their focus.”
