There are plenty of athletes that sign without the news conferences, in the privacy of their own home or HS coach's office. There are plenty more students that are not athletes that choose their school without a handler. I still think it's a great analogy.

Geeze, how old are you?! Does anyone in school now know what a slide rule is? Perhaps a press conference is needed to remind people what one looks like?
Ok, an abacus then?..........that's how much I know about engineering.

Sure, plenty of athletes just sign but the top 3-5 are in rare air, seperated from the herd, distanced from the pack. Additionally they all have 'handlers'.

Right or wrong there are only so many that have a vertical leap of 40' and are gifted athletically, those few the sport crazed public are interested in, not vet students. But I think you know that.
