Offering college scholarships to little kids. While obviously non binding, it's such a huge disconnect from what the universities should be about that I won't cry if the whole college athletics system is burned to the ground. It's beyond stupid.

This is one of the rare times I'm going to have to agree with Miko33. Offering a nine year old a college scholarship??? Seriously?

It's just a publicity stunt, that you fell for. Hard.

Clickbait

Regardless of whether the author of the piece wanted a click bait piece for the web is irrelevant. The fact that this practice is becoming more commonplace is the onus for this thread.

It would be interesting to see an article on how all the previous junior high commitments turned out.

If the NCAA made those scholarship offers mandatory this nonsense would cease. Schools can pull the offers at anytime, so basically it is just exploiting these kids for some publicity.

It would make recruiting much harder for P5 programs.

At the very least, force the school to honor an academic scholly. It is kind of dumb.

Anyone have a good over-under on when the first in utero scholarship offer will be?

They're waiting for the ultrasonic films to come back before extending the offer. 03-wink


What's been tagged "prenatal recruiting" (12-14 year olds playing up in midget AAA) has been going on in NCAA ice hockey for while, but nothing like a 9 year old.

You did it. You used "anymore" in place of "nowadays". Lol.

There is a precedent for offering a 9-year old a college scholarship:
