“Why should I attend your school?”
Its a question any promising athelete with a choice of institutions to play ball asks the coaches and staff that visit their homes. They are told things like: I’ll be with you every step of the way. I’ll mentor you on and off the field.
Both the players and the parents receive countless promises and reassurances before they sign with an institution. The players are expected to make and stick with a commitment. So why recently has it become okay for the coaches to abandon these young men as soon as a better offer comes along? I’m talking of course about coaches like Brian Kelly and Lane Kiffin.
