I remember the excitement of Friday night, high school football games.  There was the afternoon pep rally, making plans with friends, watching kids that I started kindergarten with represent our school on the field and the victory dance after the game.  One thing I don’t remember is a member of our coaching staff traveling, to the other side of the world, to recruit players.

Big Business

I’m not naive.  I know that sports are big business and big money.  There are big player contracts in professional sports and huge television contracts in college sports.  I know that in any money driven endeavor there will be unscrupulous people and scandals…just look to USC and Reggie Bush as examples.
