As the father of two boys' (senior and freshmen in H.S. this coming school year) who will play Div. III sports when they matriculate to college, I can understand a parent wanting to assure his child's college education as early as possible but this is ridculus. Who is to say that Floyd will even be at USC when this kid graduates, plus the kid can't sign any earlier that his senior year in H.S. This is just plain nuts.
But I am not suprised. The first AAU National Championship Tournament I officiated was the 1993 Girls' 12U and one could not turn around without falling over a member of a Div. I coaching staff member. Remember, 12U means that they just completed sixth grade for crying out loud.
I am done ranting (foaming at the mouth as some esteemed members of the Forum would say).
