The e-mail was a reminder of how fast everything had changed. It was a press release touting the Pac-12 Networks’ coverage of National Signing Day on Wednesday. The extravaganza will end with a three-hour show beginning at 3 p.m. PT. In any other year, that release wouldn’t have prompted any questions at all. This year, it generated a few:
• Are we still referring to the first Wednesday in February as National Signing Day?
• If we are, should we be? Should it be Diet National Signing Day or National Signing Day Lite now?
• Should anyone tell the folks at the Pac-12 Network that most of the available players signed while their network was ignoring the early signing period in December?
