[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but on signing days, kids are signing both formal NLIs and "letters of intent" that aren't contracts. So you cannot assume that all the kids in these ceremonies are getting money, especially not on the boys side.[/quote]

They’re not signing NLI.

Its ceremonial. A photo op.

That’s why so many people are fooled. They don’t know who is and who isn’t actually receiving a scholarship. [/quote]

Yes, that's my point. People can't assume all these kids are getting money. They mostly aren't.[/quote]

I know it will never happen - but - I would like the clubs to post the amount of scholarship money rewarded per recruitment class. I bet that would change a lot of parents perspectives. Here’s the reality - either you pay to play in college or they pay you to play[/quote]
Although that’s a zippy sounding phrase, it doesn’t really make a lot of sense given that you pay to go to college whether you play a sport or not, in most cases.

Your pipe dream re clubs publishing scholarship amounts by class would certainly provide months of entertainment on DCUM every year, or maybe just the first day of the first time because posters would violate player privacy every which way while debating which kids were good enough to earn X dollars of the club’s posted scholarship total. That being said, if you are in the club and your kid is recruited, you will probably have a good idea for your kid’s class. Kids talk freely about this stuff amongst themselves, IME, and parents reach out to other parents who have been through the process for advice. [/quote]
