Colleges Recruiting Junior High Athletes

Monday, 27 January 2014 | by Pat's Picks

The New York Times says more and more college coaches are recruiting athletes before they even get into high school. Coaches exploit loopholes in NCAA rules in a race to fill up their rosters before rival coaches get their hands on talented young athletes. The Times says the problem is more pronounced among girls both because girls mature faster than boys and also because Title IX has vastly increased the number of scholarships given out to girls.
