Ohio State AD says recruits are asking for 5K just to visit the school

quote:

Ohio State AD Gene Smith will say the quiet part out loud in today's NIL hearing on the Hill during his testimony.

"A practice of asking a school for a fee to simply visit campus has emerged; asking for $5,000 just to visit has become common."

The well is going to run dry sooner rather than later.

not surprised. every single 4* and up (probably a lot of 3* too) thinks he's a future all american at the college he picks.

I guess he knows how fans feel when schools keep asking them to pay higher ticket and concession prices.

Curious if some bigger schools will work together to put some controls on such ridiculous requests like this. So what if you don't get paid to visit? Will you refuse to sign with any school?

The kids want to know where they are on the pecking orders… because schools will pay that for some to visit but not others

And the big time teams have to pay that… because they absolutely positively cannot ever be perceived as “cheap”. That’s worse for recruiting than losing

You know how that practice became common? The 1st few idiots said yes. You’re fricking Ohio State. Don’t let a bunch of high schoolers shake you down for 5 grand just to step on campus.

You can end that practice pretty quick.
Get schools on board to refuse those requests.
These players need a Bama, Ohio St, Michigan much more than the school needs them.

What's next, hire someone to go to class for me so I can stay eligible for 3 years?

These kids are sacrificing their bodies. They honestly deserve to be paid

That's the dumbest/slimiest thing I've heard in a while. Also you know these kids have a bunch of handlers that are getting their cut.

Recruiting has to be such a shitshow for coaches nowadays.

Sure. But they don't deserve to get paid to simply visit the school. Get outta here w/that noise.

Visiting a school is not sacrificing their body.

I don't blame Dan Mullen or other coaches who quit over recruiting. I would run out of patience fast treating a bunch of 17 year olds (over half of whuch will flame out or leave) like God's gift to football.

Kinda funny bringing this up when schools with 10 and 11 figure endowments are still charging you a 50-100 dollar application fee just to electronically send them some paperwork.

Can you blame them? You've got true freshmen who are riding the bench and still making 6 figures a MONTH in NIL.
