National signing day.......

Does this really need to be on TV? All this is doing is making these kids think they are bigger than they really are. Now they are gonna go to their college campus thinking they deserve things.

If they don't start their freshman year then they transfer to another school.

Total joke. Most these kids wont be eligible do to grades anyway after the first semester.

Just scroll up and down the lineup of other channels and really not comparable to some of the garbage being shown on tv. Would much rather some high school sports stars heads inflating the egos they already have than Teen Mom, Housewives of Orange County, or Jersey Shore.

Not the point.

Next they are gonna televise where Jr high kids plan on going to high school. And we wonder why they all end up being pricks when they get older.

I dont get your argument. So because they are young and have yet to accomplish something on a media level that you follow they are undeserving?...To say they have not accomplished something is mistaken.

I doubt you followed Kobe or LeBraun at their high school level...but their rookie merchandise is worth more today then anything they put out today.

If all you want is accomplished (old) news and not reports of tomorrow's stars then just watch the Super Bowl at the end of the year and call everyone else losers....

Their accomplishments have nothing to do with it. All I'm saying is why is the media blowing up their heads before they get to college?

Now they have all this hype over them that most wont live up to. It like the preseason rankings..... Not worth a shit.

[Ron Mexico]

All I'm saying is they are setting these kids up to fail.

[Ron Mexico]

5 years ago all the kids signed and you heard about the big names and the top recruits but there was not all the hype. If the kid did not make it... It was not as big a deal.

Ok so where do you the draw the line? I can name you a ton of amateur players who have done both sides at the NFL level.....or are you ok with the college level since you follow that level?

wow.... must of hit a nerve with you.

Here in California. We could give a crap about High school sports. Dont know any of the kids. Lucky to get 1000 people at a game.

I just think they are too young to have all this hype surrounding them. Thats all. Sorry to hurt your feelings.

Marketing is why.....

Has nothing to do with marketing..... The more you tell an 18yr old kid how great he is the more is gonna expect to be treated that way. Then when they fail most cant handle it. And most will fail.

your statement in the first post of this thread is the following

"Total joke. Most these kids wont be eligible do to grades anyway after the first semester. "
