[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming this is serious, I'll take a shot at responding:

The eligibility center does nothing to get your kid recruited. It is not a service that puts you into contact with coaches or gives you a place to post your videos.

As a quick google search will inform you, "The NCAA Eligibility Center certifies whether prospective college athletes are eligible to play sports at NCAA Division I or II institutions. It does this by reviewing the student-athlete's academic record, SAT® or ACT scores, and amateur status to ensure conformity with NCAA rules."

In other words, before your superstar can receive his or her full scholarship from the best program in the land, they have to be certified that they are actually an amateur  and that they have actually taken the required high school classes.  The NCAA charges a fee for maintaining the website, for people to review the transcripts and athletic status, etc.

Do you have to register?  Only if your kid gets an athletic scholarship that you want to receive the money from, because without the NCAA ID, no school will release the money.[/quote]

Yes, it was serious.  I apologize I don't understand ever single thing that comes my way.  That explained everything though, so thank you.  My DC has had D1 offers, some with money and some without, so I guess it depends on what he chooses.  (It's not all about the money. Quality of program matters too).[/quote]

If you don’t know then stop saying stupid things like “money grab”. [/quote]

having been through the process it is very hard to determine what is a money grab and what is not.

Most us parents did not ask for an extremely gifted athlete, it fell in our lap and we are just trying to foster them through the process.

But sharks surround you once your kids is one of the best. Coaches are dishonest and the NCAA ... is not exactly the most ethical group. [/quote]

I would disagree...  If your kid is truly one of the BEST (your words), they are playing for free and probably getting extra opportunities/training at no cost.  [/quote]
