CIF to talk to IMG about poaching players

I Saw that the commissioners are gonna meet about it

but WTH can they do?
Cant make it illegal... cant control kids lives, if they wanna leave, they are gonna leave
there is no way to stop them

i don't agree with it and i dont like IMG

ive talked to a number of D1 coaches about it and they all feel the same way
makes recruiting convenient from a 1 stop shopping standpoint, they can go there and visit with a lot of kids

but it isnt HS football, they said no one goes to the games because all the kids are out of state

they say it doesnt benefit them to go there because the ones that are amazing, were gonna have every offer anyway, and the ones who think they will get more offers by going end up being a back up or part time player where as he wouldve been the best player in his whole area had he stayed at home

I agree that IMG is hurting other places, i just dont see how we can make a rule here in CA, that does anything to stop it

cant stand img and what it stands for. Florida is screwed up in how private schools are all in the public school league. private schools openly recruit kids. st thomas, bishop moore, jacksonville bolles, to name a few. but then they play the publics all season long and in the title games. its pretty unfair for any program really.
but,,,,
open enrollment starts july 1. which will be a complete chit storm. they already changed the rules on "following a coach". now a kid can go wherever his coach goes. nobody turns people in on this, as the rule now says "previous involvement".
open enrollment, kids can go across 5,6,7 school zones to go play football, transfer back to play basketball, transfer again to play baseball....heck, they can go from county to county as well.
how this is right, is beyond me.

Sounds pretty similar to California. However, the big time public schools in California may be bigger recruiters than the privates.

Pretty much the way I feel about it.  I found the article especially interesting because I'm familiar with a set of twins that Chaminade was chasing.  I was told by a family member that they were promised full tuition, uniforms, breakfast & lunch and transportation to/from school. 

I agree that CIF should be focused on stuff happening here, there are more than enough violations to keep them busy for years. 

I hope not. If they expand that means things are going well for them and they're just going to keep adding more schools around the country.

Imagine 10 IMG's around the country in calculated areas. They form a national conference and that's their 9 game schedule where every game is nationally televised.

heard rumblings for years about something called THE RSR ACADEMY starting up
sounds shady

You must not be in south florida because down here, the public schools are sometimes worse. It's actually easier for them to recruit because no money is involved. Only a few schools like St Thomas can bring kids in with no cost.  

There are plenty of public schools that offer up the world now too, they just do it by bending the rules.

A follow up?

I'm hardly pro-IMG but that's a tad over the top.
