Like an angry November blizzard in the heartland of Nebraska, national signing day has come, gone and blanketed the landscape with speculation, hype and intrigue.
Every year at the beginning of February, we all huddle around televisions and computers to see where these young men will decide to play their “amateur” football careers while also taking some classes on the side. It spurs debate on whether or not we the media give it too much attention, glorify high school kids who haven’t accomplished anything or whether “stars” actually matter.
However, there isn’t a debate on whether or not signing day is important to the life blood of every college program in the country.
