FCS semifinalists announce early signing classesBy CRAIG HALEY

(STATS) – The opportunity to reach the FCS championship game comes on Saturday, but the four programs in the semifinals did a lot of celebrating on national signing day Wednesday.

Two-time defending champion North Dakota State will host Montana State and Weber State will visit James Madison in the semifinals. They took a brief break to accept national letters of intent at the start of the three-day signing period that was instituted for high school student-athletes in 2017 in advance of the traditional February period.

As in past years, junior college players also began to sign with four-year programs on Wednesday, with their signing period continuing through Jan. 15.
