re: It’s still all about the bag man in college football recruiting

Who do you think provides all that? You think some kids family from the ghettos of Miami or New Orleans have the money to uproot the entire family and move to another state because their kid chose a certain school? Of course they don't. And getting them a job, many don't have jobs in the first place. These kids at these "private" or select high schools are compensated then and continue to be in college. They are the lottery ticket and many of the families see them as such. They have very profitable commodities and aren't letting them go for nothing. It's the American way. If you have something valuable you bargain for the best price.
