Perhaps I am now part of the machine that I'm about to bash. I'll admit that up front.
I'm watching "Signing Day" on ESPNU and it is making me a little sick to my stomach.
Shouldn't these kids and their families already made a decision? Shouldn't they have done their research? Shouldn't they have already told their high school coaches? Shouldn't they have already told the college coaches? Shouldn't they have placed a phone call to the coaches of the schools that they are not planning on going?
I know that this is a small percentage of the entire system, but it is the part that everyone sees on TV. It just seems like things are going in the wrong direction.
Anybody have any thoughts? Am I over thinking this? I don't think that college recruiting should be turned into a reality tv show.
