The NFL draft puts you to sleep, but the recruiting season is something I would pay good money to see take place.
Good thing for everybody is that both are free and we don't have to worry about burning a hole in our pockets. However, if there is one of these events that could get away with charging a price for admission, it would be the recruiting process.
Sorry, seeing high school kids pick the colleges they are going to attend is much better than watching them grow up and walk across a stage like they are graduating all over again. Everything that comes with it is dramatic and you aren't quite sure what is going to unfold the next day. The NFL draft is predictable and isn't nearly as exciting as what recruiting provides.
Here is why the NFL draft is monotonous when it comes to recruiting season.
The Suspense
Is he really going to go to the school everybody is predicting? Will he stay close to home? When will he make his announcement? Wait, national signing day has passed and he still hasn't picked a school!
What is going on?
With the many questions that are asked throughout the recruiting season, it tends to create more suspense than the movie Jaws. Fan bases are on the edge of their seat and college football fans everywhere are wondering when and where this top recruit is going to make up his mind.
There is absolutely nothing suspenseful about the NFL draft, as it ends up being the same stuff every year. Now if teams had less time to pick, each player received one pass when selected and the NFL owners had to arm wrestle for positioning, we would be much better off and the ratings would improve.
