    The NCAA will vote Wednesday on adding four new live recruiting periods for August and September after the July live period was canceled, sources said.

    The NABC and the NCAA were both set to have phone calls on the matter on Tuesday. The proposed recruiting windows are Aug. 15-16 (Non-scholastic events), Aug. 22-23 (Scholastic events), Sept. 5-7 (Non-scholastic) and Sept. 19-20 (Scholastic). No October dates are being proposed yet, but they will be if August has to be canceled, sources said.

    “As time has gone on and more and more information has been gained, it’s clear that we need to look at the future opportunities to create alternative events going forward in August, September and October possibly,” TCU coach Jamie Dixon recently told Andy Katz of the NCAA.

    The NCAA dead period was extended through July but several events are still slated for Las Vegas and other areas. College coaches will not be permitted to be in attendance but they can watch Livestreams that are available to the public.
