National Signing Day Controversy a week later!

Well it has been just over a week since National Signing Day and we are still hearing all the mudslinging from Coaches as well as the student athletes.  From Coaches stealing athletes who committed to one school and at the last moment chose the latter school, to athletes that strung schools a long only to choose a school at the last minute leaving the other schools hanging, to the Schools who got a student athlete to commit and sign a letter of intent only to find a coach or coaches have now left for another school or job somewhere else and everyone knew except for the student athlete. This is the way it has been for many years and yet some coaches and student athletes think this is the first time it has ever happened. Nowadays the student athletes and even coaches have taken to social media to express their outrage and I have to sit back and laugh, really? All coaches and I mean all coaches try to swoop in and steal another coaches recruit and they all slam each other to recruits and their parents and the recruits high school coaches. As I wrote in a previous post, National Signing Day has become almost as big as NFL Draft Day.  I find it even more amusing that some Coaches call each other out on social media for doing the exact same thing they have done now or in the past. I do think all of this is really getting out of hand and that the NCAA needs to step in and put rules in place to stop all the shenanigans from Universities,Coaches, and the Recruits as it relates to the recruiting process and also to stop sensationalizing National Signing Day as they have allowed it to happen and going forward make them all be transparent and adhere to new guidelines and rules.  The media also shares some blame in all of this for making the National Signing Day a television spectacle now and the fans, colleges, coaches and recruits eat this stuff up big time. Maybe they should have a venue like they do in NYC for the NFL Draft Day in LA or Chicago where the top 50 recruits are there and announce where they are going to choose to play football at what college. Oh wait thats right, I forgot, these recruits are suppose to be student athletes first and foremost, yet the media and colleges and coaches treat them like star studded athletes first and not students at all! Time for the NCAA to make sure these recruits are students first and athletes second, but I doubt they will do anything about this. Why would they, these future recruits mean lots of $$$$ for the Universities and also the NCAA coffers.   @cupofjoeinthed
