[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you care?

Not that you have really seen these signings and you went well out of your way to find schools as obscure as you could but the very notion of crapping in any kids choice of school is simply petty and vile.

Worry about your own kid and let other people live in peace without your judgement. [/quote]

I didn’t bring it up. Someone else brought up and linked to this “commitment list,” which includes some of those specific schools, implying it was a big deal. The fact is these recruiting services make a ton of money off well-meaning parents and the fallacy that there is all this athletic scholarship money out there.

I worked in college athletics for 20 years. I have seen ill-informed parents every year but it has gotten worse.

I am not critical or judgmental of any student’s school choice. I am critical of the perception that these schools are handing out all these big scholarship awards for soccer or tennis or whatever, when that just isn’t true in almost every case.

To be honest, I also wonder why schools don’t have signing ceremonies for the kids who get big academic scholarships. [/quote]
