I can't imagine why he would do that? What is to gain?

Because THAT is exactly how unhealthily popular recruiting has become. It is the natural progression from people having instant updates from websites to now wanting to "be" involved.

I can't imagine why he would do that? What is to gain? Some kind of petty way to mess with someone else's dreams after his were ruined by ineligibility? Or maybe I'm just watching too many of my wife's crime dramas... |

The article makes it sound like the guy just has serious mental problems. Whatever his reasons, this is creepy.

I guess the benefits to him were emotional. He might have just wanted to feel like he was part of a football team again, or wanted people to treat him like he had some pull or could do things for them. Maybe he had fantasies of being a college coach someday and wanted to go ahead and live the dream. That's all just speculation, but mental illness can lead to people doing some very weird things. I've heard of people posing as all sorts of authority figures just so they can get off on the power trip. First time I've ever heard of this, though.
