Narrow it even more???? Okay, which one, Bama or Clemson drops out?

This (in bold) is what I am concerned about, mainly. It is against the rules to recruit in high schools. It is as clear as a bell in the LHSAA rulebook. I am watching what LSU and apparently UAB and UNT in our own conference are doing and wondering if some of these private high schools will broadly promote similar efforts, not to specific athletes, but ones who know that being a 5 star athlete at the local school dad went to is not going to cut it when they can go to Big $$$ Private HS with the stout film and promotion program that helps their social media brand. I don't think a lot of folks realize how complicated this just got. I don't see how anyone can be called an amateur anymore and honestly that might be a good thing but if schools are not out there promoting their big playmakers on ESPN Top 10's on social media, they are going to lose their best to schools that will afford them that opportunity. As a coach, even in a minor sport, I have to have social media game.
:laugh: Clemson just became relevant recently, so it's not like they are a staple at the top of the food chain. If you take out their recent championships, you'd have to go back to 1981 to find the next one.
I just counted, in the last 20 years there has been 10 different teams win the NC. If you look at the previous 20 years (1980-2000) , there was 16 different teams that won it. In that period Bama only won it once (92). It's interesting to see how teams that were once relevant 20 years ago (USC, Nebraska, Tennessee, Penn State, Miami) have fallen from grace.
Maybe we should do this for baseball. Why bother with football when all the big boys will do that?
Yet to start a game.
