My son (pitcher) played summer before he entered college, I found it to be a waste , he could have benefited from the money spent taking a few summer classes and conditioning.

I think that it is becoming more common and coaches have no problem with it.

Concur. This is especially true for pitchers. One college coach told us he basically assumes all incoming freshman pitchers have been overthrown, so he wants to get them on campus, off the mound, and in the conditioning program as quickly as possible.
