For football this will have tangible effects on the recruiting landscape - especially for the '21 class, whose early signing day is now BEFORE the season would start. Every year there are guys who blow up as seniors and land a few late offers based on the vastly improved new tape before the "normal" Feb signing day...but now those players will most likely not get that chance. Plus the recruiting services have little material to fine-tune/update their evaluations and rankings, which would typically continue through the summer and fall as camps and more games take place. It will be interesting to see the star ranking makeup when this year's recruiting cycle gets drafted, compared to a typical recruiting cycle.
